Robert Pollard has called the epic double-LP Let It Beard "a subconscious concept album about the sorry state of rock and roll." A 75-minute thrill ride through the many forms Pollard has mastered in his three-plus decades of writing and recording, it's "the White Album meets Quadrophenia meets Jesus Christ Superstar," in his words. "Meets Same Place the Fly Got Smashed," adds guitarist Chris Slusarenko. Let It Beard features strings, horns, keyboards, a female soul singer and guest turns from such luminaries as Colin Newman from Wire, J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, Steve Wynn from the Dream Syndicate, Mick Collins from The Dirtbombs, Dave Rick from Phantom Tollbooth and Mitch Mitchell from Guided By Voices. Deluxe double vinyl version...the biggest, and best Boston Spaceships yet...
