UU002: Sandbox Sounds: Surfgaze and Neo-Psychedelia Vol. 1
PRESSED ON OCEAN FLOOR MARBLE VINYL!
When composing songs for his would-be lost masterpiece, SMiLE, Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys famously placed his grand piano into a large sandbox in his living room. He wanted to feel the childlike wonder of having his toes in the sand, to feel the great spirit of inspiration, and most importantly — to create without fear. This compilation sifts through the sands of private pressed, DIY, and home recorded music from around the world (Sweden, The Netherlands, the US, Canada, and the UK to be exact!) that emulate not only Brian's cosmic balance of harmony and psychedelia, but also his spirit of creation without fear. So close your eyes and feel the waves surrounding your ears. We'll see you on the other side! We've got an ocean-tinted LP and a sunshine yellow cassette variant, to take you into your own personal sandbox state of mind.
If you're a trUU collector (and like extra stuff!) we have a bundle option that includes both the LP and cassette tape, plus exclusive pins and stickers for your turntable, your guitar case, your favorite jean jacket, whatever you want!
This release comes with Utopia Unearthed's "digital liner notes," so you can scan a QR code for an in-depth deep dive into each of the artists involved and have a truly immersive listening experience!
