Not in My Airforce

by Robert Pollard

Not in My Airforce cover art

Serving as the official solo debut from the relentlessly prolific Guided By Voices frontman, the record remarkably maintains his signature lo-fi, fractured power-pop aesthetic. Backed heavily by GBV bandmate Tobin Sprout, the remarkably concise tracks balance surreal, absurdist poetry with genuinely touching, acoustic-driven melancholy. It highlighted Pollard's inexhaustible melodic songwriting capability, operating perfectly in parallel with his main band's chaotic output.
