Artist: Robert Pollard

Hidden Shoal Recordings is proud to announce the signing of musical experimentalist Todd Tobias to its roster of artists. After years of producing Guided By Voices and playing in Circus Devils with Robert Pollard, Todd Tobias is striking out on his own with his debut solo album, Medicine Show, a multi-faceted instrumental opus, evoking a shadowy steampunk dystopia. Todd Tobias and older brother Tim Tobias grew up in Northeast Ohio, USA, where the two played together in a string of bands, culminating in Clouds Forming Crowns and Circus Devils (the latter with Robert Pollard).

After an 18-year absence, Cardinal has finally returned with Hymns (Fire), its sophomore album. To rabid fans of the bi-coastal duo who'd all but given up hope of ever hearing a sequel to their masterful self-titled 1994 debut, that freshman year must have seemed interminable. When its first longplayer appeared on an indie-rock scene buzzing [...]

Guided By Voices just released Let's Go Eat The Factory earlier this year, so a solo album from Robert Pollard is long overdue. In March, GBV's Budweiser bard releases Mouseman Cloud, an album Fire Records says has an emphasis on "wordplay rather than melody." The first single's "Obvious #1," and you can assess its relative merits here: Read More...

The management company for Guided by Voices denies it, but word came today that sounds very much like the GbV "classic lineup" has, once again, disbanded. Nada Mucho.com posted an interview with GbV guitarist Mitch Mitchell that spoke of the reunion, generated when "Matador Records came calling in 2010, inviting the "classic" GbV line-up to perform at the label's twenty-first birthday party in Las Vegas." A year long tour was done (See our piece from the 930 Club show here ) , and the record, Let's Go Eat [...]

Tweet Soon, a review of "Let's Go Eat The Factory" , but first a brief history lesson, just in case you don't know the story so far. Guided By Voices haven't released an album in 8 years. Some would probably call it 16 years, since it was in 1996 that Robert Pollard sacked and replaced the rest of the band with an all new line up. That iteration of GBV [...]

Italian Horn is the musical moniker of NYC writer Anthony Pappalardo. Dais Records just announced they'll be releasing his Red Affair 123, which is limited to only 300 vinyl copies, so head HERE to pick it up. It's interesting that Robert Pollard produced the cover art collage for this album, as you can see hints of old GBV in the track that we're featuring today. This one's a little more gritty in terms of the overall production, but you can [...]

Laura Marling's album A Creature I Don't Know is not as lovely to its predecessor in accordance to our taste, however, that doesn't mean that it didn't quench our thirst.

My introduction to Guided By Voices was the 1994 lo-fi release, Bee Thousand , and the following year's Alien Lanes . Both were great albums and I always felt that Robert Pollard's later offerings with different lineups didn't quite live up to the those mid-90s efforts. So I was thrilled to hear that years after retiring the band, he was putting the "classic" GBV lineup back together for a tour and-not one, but-two albums this year. The first of those albums, Let's Go Eat the Factory , is [...]

• Guided By Voices - The Unsinkable Fats Domino

Surprisingly, I haven't done a concerts of the year post since the very first year I started blogging five years ago . So it's a big odd that I am doing one for the year that I have blogged the least. Despite the fact that I felt somewhat disconnected from music last year, I still saw some great shows. So here are the top five... 1. U2 Vanderbilt Stadium, Nashville, TN - 7/2/11 I hate stadium [...]

Se llamará Mouseman Cloud y contendrá 17 nuevas canciones. Como sabéis, Guided By Voices acaban de publicar su nuevo disco de estudio, Let's Go Eat the Factory , para el que se reunió la formación clásica de la banda. Sin embargo y aunque son ya 54 años los que cuenta Pollard, no quiere frentar su buen momento [...]

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars It's clear from the recent rise in Finnish music trickling overseas that there's quite a bit of great music being created in the country; Black Twig is another act determined to share their creativity with the world. Paper Trees is their first proper album for the newly created Soliti Music , and while the label may be small, they've got some huge sounds to promote. There's definitely a diverse sound when [...]

Guided By Voices - Let's Go Eat The Factory By Kenny McMurtrie In the past I've used good old-fashioned money to buy good old-fashioned CDs by Guided By Voices. I never play them anymore, instead preferring the occasional song to be thrown up randomly by my mp3 player. I consider myself a fan though, despite being able to name off the top of my head at time of writing only one song by them ('I Am A Tree'). When Robert Pollard's voice wafts through my earphones I'm pleased to be [...]
