Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the debut full-length effort for the Dayton, Ohio collective, 'Devil Between My Toes' introduces the foundational lo-fi recording techniques and abstract songwriting that would come to define their later work. The project establishes Robert Pollard's home-recorded aesthetic, blending disjointed dissonance with buried pop sensibilities.
