Balthazar never repeat themselves, and having excelled in numerous styles and genres – the classic pop and Gainsbourg-esque swagger of 'Rats'; the groove-laden, grizzled indie-rock of 'Thin Walls’ – 'Sand' confirms their songwriting talent and legacy as fearless innovators and restless creatives. It’s also a record infused with a special sense of poise and grace, and inspired by the joy they find playing live.
