Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as his third official solo album amidst the prolific output of Guided By Voices, 'Kid Marine' heavily features contributions from former bandmate Tobin Sprout[cite: 1]. The tracklist offers a loosely conceptual, highly idiosyncratic collection of brief indie rock sketches that heavily recall the lo-fi charm of his primary band's earliest work[cite: 1].
