One of my favourite albums.
"Fat Freddy's Drop's first studio album in 2005, Based on a True Story, showcased polished versions of songs the band had developed gradually at live shows over the years—in some cases going back to 1999; the album's title is a reference to that process." Wikipedia
"Based on a True Story became the first independently distributed album to reach first place in New Zealand record sales directly after release, and is the highest-selling album by a national artist in the country's history." Wikipedia
