VINYL FORMAT. A long time fan of the man, music, and myth that is Ohio native Robert Pollard, Steven Soderbergh (Oceans 11, Traffic and Erin Brockovich) didn't have to look hard for someone to score his new movie, Bubble. Detailed information surrounding the film is still a bit sparse - the theatrical release date not being until 2006 - but we do know that it is a murder mystery that, in part, takes place in a doll factory in the aforementioned mythological state of Ohio.

On the fourth try, Pollard lets fly a solo LP as engaging throughout as his most developed, consistent Guided by Voices ones. Infinitely better than Waved Out and Kid Marine (both somewhat saved by a minority of killer tracks), and with as many high points as the typically big-hit-and-lots-of-miss-mess of Not in My Airforce, Speak Kindly starts with the gentle hum-along bang of "Frequent Weaver Who Burns" and never crests. Wonderful! Maybe it's Gillard's influence, Pollard's main    [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. For an extraordinarily creative and prolific artist, 2008 has been a particularly extraordinary, creative, and prolific year for Robert Pollard. Hot on the heels of two terrific new albums, a stunning 140-page, full-color book of his collage art, great reviews, features in Vice, Flaunt, SPIN, and Entertainment Weekly, the launch of his own label, and his first live tour in two years, the man is on a roll. From the stately Krautrock chug of the album opener, "Faking My Harlequin," to the schizo   [ read more ]

Like Isolation Drills and his last solo outing, which was credited to him and Guided by Voices guitarist Doug Gillard, Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department, his latest effort, Choreographed Man of War, is pretty much a "must have" for fans and a strong pickup for the merely passing. It's the third straight excellent LP where all the songs are fully fleshed out and realized. Could it be that Pollard's former too-prevalent penchant for fragments, impromptu sketches, incomplete songs, and half-assed    [ read more ]
