Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released shortly after their debut, 'Sandbox' presents a surprisingly clear, power-pop-oriented iteration of Robert Pollard's expanding catalog. The project reflects a concentrated effort to emulate collegiate rock and psychedelic sensibilities before the group fully retreated into their trademark four-track methodology.
