Teenage Guitar - More Lies From The Gooseberry Bush - Music CD

2014 release from the ever-prolific Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices). Something Pollard does with uncanny regularity, and which is further on display on every track on the gloriously unkempt, roiling-with-ideas MORE LIES FROM THE GOOSEBERRY BUSH, the second record Pollard has released under the nom-de-rock Teenage Guitar. For those who like their Pollard stately, tuneful and elegiac - sure, he can do that without effort, but that's not what Teenage Guitar is about. Teenage Guitar is about trying hard without seeming to try hard. The result is that rare thing: A completely original album. Which is also a true delight, a sky-blue gem, a timeless and untimely cabinet of wonder. And by some few miles the greatest musical artifact your ears will have the pleasure of encountering this year.
