During the two-year period between the release of their debut and
TPA Flight 028,
Tristan Psionic did more than just run Sonic Unyon, they also developed their sound substantially, shucking straight-ahead pop numbers for more intricate arrangements reminiscent of
Pavement or
Sonic Youth. They hadn't quite found their own voice yet on this release, but they were certainly coming along nicely -- and you've gotta like a band who can record a song titled "Donut Rock City."
