Details
Mt Pollard's brand new label offers up Robert Pollard's newest solo material. Pollard amicably departed Merge Records after four albums in two years, and this will be his only proper "Robert Pollard" full-length for 2008. With ten songs in 35 minutes, it's an extraordinary rock tour-de-force. Robert Pollard Is Off To Business sports Todd Tobias's cleanest and meanest production yet, giant songs and riffs that pack a wallop, and arguably Pollard's finest singing ever captured on record. For Pollard, whose albums normally run 15-25 songs, this ten-song work is a departure from form. Since freeing himself of a band in 2004, his albums have each had very distinct and varied flavors, and his creativity has flowered. "Weatherman and Skin Goddess" takes the listener back to a time when Rock Radio ruled!!Album's release coincides with Fantagraphics' Town Of Mirrors : The Reassembled Imagery of Robert Pollard, a lavish coffee-table book retrospective of Pollard's collage art and lyrics, as well as several Pollard art exhibits! Super deluxe (and very limited) heavy vinyl version too!
