This is Your Captain Speaking released their debut album 'Storyboard' independently in Australia in May 2005 and quickly sold out of the first pressing.

The band then toured Europe and the UK, including performing at Belgium’s Rhaaa Lovely Festival, where they played alongside Deerhoof, 65daysofstatic, Piano Magic, Grails and 31knots.
Storyboard received critical acclaim from around the world, with reviewers describing the album as “66 minutes of pure musical bliss” [1], “one of the most well crafted albums in recent history” [2], and “a masterpiece in its own right” [3].
