Concrete Dunes is an compilation album by American indie rock band Grandaddy, released in October 2002 by Lakeshore Records.[2] This album has created some controversy among fans of the band, as this was not released with the band's permission. Like The Broken Down Comforter Collection, it collects tracks from the band's early releases.[2] Allmusic's Heather Phares described it as "a pretty good overview of Grandaddy's evolution from shambling, fuzzed-out indie rock to the more ambitious, spacy sound of their later work".[1]
