Intended at the time to be the band's final album, Robert Pollard brings the legendary indie-rock institution to a highly melodic, fitting conclusion. Returning to Matador Records, the album blends their classic lo-fi sensibilities with pristine power-pop hooks, serving as an affectionate victory lap for the notoriously prolific group.
