For an extraordinarily creative and prolific artist, this has been a particularly extraordinary, creative and prolific year. Hot on the heels of 2 new albums, a stunning 140-page, full-color art book, 4-star accolades and renewed press excitement (featured in Vice, Flaunt, Spin and Entertainment Weekly), the launch of his own label , his first live tour in 2 years, Robert Pollard is on a roll... From the stately Kraut-rock chug of the album opener, "Faking My Harlequin", to the schizo-frenetic closing track "Too Much Fun," with structural u-turns piled on top of tempo shifts, The Crawling Distance is unlike any Pollard album you've heard before. With 10 songs, most clocking in at 3 and 4+ minutes, highlights include the gorgeous "It's Easy", a rare Pollard ballad (albeit a ballad with creepy oddball imagery) and "The Butler Stands For All Of Us", a subtle, melancholy song that ranks among Pollard's best ever. "Pollard is sort of the Grateful Dead equivalent for people who like Miller Lite instead of acid." - The Washington Post |
