Robert Pollard - Superman Was A Rocker

NEW ON POLLARD'S "NEW" LABEL HAPPY JACK ROCK. ROBERT POLLARDS SUPERMAN WAS A ROCKER IS A RETURN TO OLD WAYS. THIS MINI-ALBUM (13 SONGS, 30 MINUTES) FINDS POLLARD USING RECORDING METHODS HE HASNT ENGAGED IN SINCE HIS TIME IN GUIDED BY VOICES. POLLARD RECENTLY POURED THROUGH A BUNCH OF OLD CASSETTE TAPES AND FOUND SOME GREAT, NEVER-USED INSTRUMENTALS THAT HE EITHER WROTE OR CO-WROTE, AND AND HE DECIDED TO GO INTO THE STUDIO AND PUT VOCALS (AND MELODIES!) OVER THEM, JUST LIKE HE USED TO BACK IN THE OLD GUIDED BY VOICES DAYS. THE MUSIC SPANS A 20+ YEAR PERIOD, SO IN ESSENCE, THIS IS AN ALBUM 20 YEARS IN THE MAKING. DUE TO THE SPAN OF TIME AND BODY OF WORK FROM WHICH THE CLIPS WERE ACCESSED, MANY OF THE CLASSIC GUIDED BY VOICES ALUMNI APPEAR ON THIS ALBUM: TOBIN SPROUT, MITCH MITCHELL, KEVIN FENNELL, DOUG GILLARD, NATE FARLEY. THIS IS THE MOST FUN POLLARD ALBUM IN YEARS.
