Staff Picks: That Dog - Retreat From The Sun / Totally Crushed Out
For fans of: Unsung Alt-Rock / 90s Magic
What they're saying: Pitchfork recently named 1995’s Totally Crushed Out best new reissue, calling it “a sugar-rushing testament to the emotional confusions of youth.” 1997’s Retreat From The Sun was originally conceived as a solo venture by lead singer Anna Waronker, and Allmusic describes it as “the best album Liz Phair never made.”
What we say: For the last week Retreat from the Sun has been on repeat for me as I enjoy the last bastion of summer in Seattle. Picking up these reissues vastly improved my life and I believe they could do the same for you. (Go Totally Crushed Out for grungier guitar rock, R.F.T.S. is your pick for more pure pop) Now when can we expect some Letters to Cleo reissue that aren't spendy and hard to find?
