Album Notes & Community Reviews

A collaborative side-project pairing Robert Pollard's prolific, off-the-cuff songwriting with Tobin Sprout's multi-instrumental tracking. The album presents a hazy, deeply surreal blend of lo-fi indie rock and neo-psychedelia, characterized by an anxious, melancholic slacker aesthetic.
