Unspeakable Things: The Album

Something sweet came our way today from Sandbox Theatre: a 6-song mixtape of new, local music created for their upcoming show, Unspeakable Things: The Wandrei Brothers Project. Inspired by Harold and Donald Wandrei, pioneering science-fiction writers who lived in St. Paul, the work carries on Sandbox Theatre’s collaborative mission of working with artists across disciplines- previous collaborators have included fashion designers Max Lohrbach and Laura Fulk, Anna Lee and Kerry Riley. Now comes a great musical line-up in a limited edition of 100 downloads, so get in on the action quick by downloading it here. The included artists are:

Grant Cutler & Jeremy Messersmith
Ben Weaver
Ten Centuries
The Poor Nobodys
The Robinson Caruso Organization
The Eclectic Ensemble

Can’t really beat that for a great cross-section of local music, and look for Unspeakable Things: The Wandrei Brothers Project, opening at the Red Eye Theater on November 5th.
