Operating as an incredibly focused side project outside the main Guided by Voices canon, this collaborative effort matches Robert Pollard's prolific vocal melodies with Doug Gillard's muscular, inventive guitar arrangements. The concise, high-quality songcraft frequently rivals the best material found on the duo's primary full-band releases.
