American Art

Released on May 8, 2007 on Doghouse Records. It is the debut album of the band Weatherbox. The album received critical acclaim from several sources including underground music distribution company, Smartpunk, who used these words to describe the music's genre and style

"Thirteen songs of swelling love and bear-like strength. A stunning first step from this San Diego band destined for greatness. Gigantic guitar hooks and earth-shattering drum work seem to burst through a cloud of smoke, all while the vocalist provides a hefty dose of eclectic melodies with lyrics that harkens back to a bygone psychedelic era. With equal parts prog-rock and symphonic guitar ambience, "American Art" makes an undeniable statement."[1]

The Alternative Press magazine, who gave the album 4 1/2 stars, raved that the record would, "...change your life, if you let it."[2]


The album was produced by Zack Shutt, known for his production work with the band Unwritten Law.
