Our Take

Robert Pollard, the enigmatic frontman of Guided By Voices, returns with his latest solo release, Faulty Superheroes. This album is a rollercoaster of unpredictable lo-fi goodness, showcasing Pollard's undeniable talent for crafting infectious melodies and off-kilter lyrics.

From the opening track, "Heaven Is a Gated Community," Pollard sets the tone for a wild ride through his musical mind. The songs are short and sweet, often clocking in at under two minutes, but pack a punch with their catchy hooks and unconventional song structures.

One standout track is "Take Me to Yolita," a jangly, guitar-driven anthem that perfectly captures Pollard's unique blend of indie rock and psychedelic influences. The quirky lyrics and infectious energy make this song an instant classic.

Throughout the album, Pollard's trademark wit and charm shine through, as he navigates themes of love, loss, and the absurdity of everyday life. Tracks like "It Disappears in the Least Likely Hands (We May Never Not Know)" and "You Only Need One" showcase his ability to blend melancholy with optimism in a way that only he can.

Faulty Superheroes is a testament to Pollard's enduring creativity and passion for music. With its lo-fi production and DIY spirit, this album is a joy to listen to from start to finish. Robert Pollard may not be a faultless superhero, but he's certainly a musical legend in his own right.
