Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2003, 'Cup of Sand' served as a compilation of rarities and B-sides during a period when Superchunk was transitioning away from major label pressures. This album followed their critically acclaimed 'Here’s to Shutting Up' (2001) and marked a time of reflection for the band as they embraced their indie roots more fully.
