Smart Casual is the debut album from Kids In Glass Houses, recorded during late 2007 at Long Wave Studios with Romesh Dodangoda. The album contains songs the band have written since the release of their five-track EP "E-Pocalypse!", and also three tracks from the EP.

The lead single from the album is "Easy Tiger" and was released March 10, 2008. It was released as a digital download, and on a limited pressing of 2000 vinyls. The music video for the single received considerable plays on music channels.
