Album Notes & Community Reviews

Constructed from a collection of discarded song fragments and unreleased demos spanning Robert Pollard's career, 'Earth Man Blues' was re-recorded and stitched together into a loose autobiographical concept album. The record bridges the gap between their eccentric, art-rock experimentation and their capacity for soaring, energetic power pop anthems.
