Be Your Own Pet is the debut full-length album by American band Be Your Own Pet, released in 2006.

Background

"Ouch" was inspired by George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.[11] The title of the song "Thresher's Flail" is a reference to the Samuel Taylor Coleridge poem Kubla Khan: Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail/Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail.[12]
