Our Take

Robert Pollard, the prolific frontman of Guided By Voices, has dropped his latest solo effort, "From A Compound Eye", and it's a wild ride from start to finish. The album clocks in at a hefty 26 tracks, showing that Pollard still has plenty of tricks up his sleeves.

From the moment the opening track, "The Blondes", kicks in with its infectious guitar riff and catchy chorus, you know you're in for a good time. Pollard's signature brand of lo-fi indie rock is on full display here, with plenty of jangly guitars and off-kilter lyrics to keep you on your toes.

Tracks like "Love Is Stronger Than Witchcraft" and "Dancing Girls and Dancing Men" showcase Pollard's knack for crafting catchy melodies that stick in your head long after the music stops. And with guest appearances from fellow indie rock luminaries like Doug Gillard and Tobin Sprout, the album is a who's who of the underground music scene.

But what really sets "From A Compound Eye" apart is Pollard's fearless experimentation with different genres and sounds. From the psychedelic swirl of "I'm a Strong Lion" to the punk rock energy of "I'm a Widow", Pollard isn't afraid to push the boundaries of what indie rock can be.

So if you're looking for a fun, quirky album that will make you want to dance and sing along, look no further than Robert Pollard's "From A Compound Eye". It's a true testament to Pollard's enduring talent and creativity, and a must-listen for any fan of indie rock.
