Keep It Together is the fourth studio album by the band Guster, released in June 2003. The album was recorded from 2001 to 2003 in Bearsville, New York, New York City, Burbank, California, and Shokan, New York. This is the first album by Guster with Brian Rosenworcel on kit drums instead of hand percussion. Keep It Together went through several working titles, including Bitch Magic, Olympia Dukakis and Come Downstairs & Say Hello.[5]
According to the album's liner notes, Joe Pisapia contributed guest vocals on "Jesus on the Radio" and Ben Kweller did the same on "I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today". Pisapia officially joined the band in 2003.[6]
The track "Red Oyster Cult" refers to the name of the American rock band Blue Öyster Cult.
A UK re-release included two bonus tracks, "Say That to My Face" and "Starless Heaven".
The record sold 267,000 copies by late 2005, according to Nielsen Soundscan.[7]
