If We Stayed Alive is the first LP from legendary Minneapolis band 12 Rods - and presents their first new music in twenty-two years.

Pitchfork raved about Gay? and Split Personalities, and a collaboration with Todd Rundgren, 2000's Separation Anxieties, followed. Bandleader Ryan Olcott wrote, recorded and played everything you hear on If We Stayed Alive. "To be honest," he says, "I think it's the best material I've had to offer so far." It's sound, themes, mood are evergreen. It's 12 Rods. It's new. It's everything we've waited for.1. All I Can Think About2. My Year (This Is Going To Be)3. Private Spies4. Comfortable Situation5. The Beating6. Hide Without Delay7. Twice
