Album Information
"Lights of Endangered Species" is the title of Matthew Good's final album with Universal. The release date was May 31st, 2011. The album title "Cold Harbor" was originally embedded in several of the MP3s encoded by Matthew himself.

This album will be Good's fourteenth release with Universal Music and second release after re-signing with them.
