==Overview==
==Overview==
That dog.'s previous disc, 1995's ''[[Totally Crushed Out!]]'', failed to make much of a dent in the music industry, despite being somewhat promoted by [[Geffen Records|DGC]], and toured behind heavily by the band.  Also, the sudden and rapid success of friends and labelmates [[Weezer]] left the band a bit bitter.

These factors left de facto leader [[Anna Waronker]] disillusioned with the industry, and she contemplated her future.  Additionally, Waronker wasn't getting along with certain members of the group, which only exascerbated the situation.

Waronker began writing songs, intending them for a solo project.  However, upon hearing some demos, Geffen insisted she put them to use within the band structure, and steered the project toward a third [[that dog.]] album.  Reluctantly, she agreed, and ''Retreat From The Sun'' was released in 1997.
