Retreat From The Sun (
GBG Deluxe Edition).
In 1997, that dog returned for their third album, Retreat From The Sun, a pop masterpiece of epic proportions, and while the band's name is still not capitalized on the cover, the band itself is all grown up. The backstory: Retreat From The Sun began life as a proposed solo album for lead singer/primary songwriter Anna Waronker. After the relative disappointment of the performance of 1995's Totally Crushed Out! and the exhaustion that came with the promotion and touring for that record, Waronker was ready to take a small break from the band, and the fruits of her most recent songwriting sessions had been sounding much more pop-oriented than what that dog had been known for. It was Luke Wood, her A&R rep at Geffen Records, who convinced her to try recording the material with the band instead. While initially bashful at showing the rest of the group songs that to her, sounded like 'show tunes', she found that they were incredibly enthusiastic in proceeding in this new direction. Additionally, an outside producer, Brad Wood (who had produced records by Liz Phair and Ben Lee) was brought in to co-produce the entire record with band. With the exception of a couple of tracks off their second album Totally Crushed Out!, this was a first for the group, who in the past had done most of their recording with Tom Grimley at Poop Alley.
