Guided By Voices: Robert Pollard.
The follow-up to SUITCASE: FAILED EXPERIMENTS & TRASHED AIRCRAFT, 2005's SUITCASE 2 is another four-disc box set of Guided By Voices rarities and musical absurdities, in this case released after mastermind Robert Pollard buried the group at the end of the previous year. Appropriately, the collection serves as a sort of a postmortem on the revered indie-rock ensemble, with tracks dating back to its obscure 1980s beginnings. Humorously crediting each song to various fictional bands, AMERICAN SUPERDREAM WOW treats GBV fans to Milko Waif's acoustic lament "Soggy Beavers," Timid Virus's rocked-out "I Am Decided," and Modular Dance Units' abstract, lo-fi "Metro XVI." Like its predecessor, this compilation will primarily appeal to Pollard completists, but other open-minded listeners that stumble upon this SUITCASE will find plenty of enjoyable lo-fi wackiness inside.

Guided By Voices

Led by former school teacher Robert Pollard, Dayton, OH's Guided By Voices pursued an aesthetic marked by structural brevity, lo-fi sound, bizarre lyrics, and a preference for early to mid-period Who and other primal pop-rock. Pollard continually shifted the group's lineup, with a new outfit backing him on nearly every record. On 1999's DO THE COLLAPSE, GBV polished its sound considerably, bringing in Ric Ocasek as a producer. GBV played their final show on New Year's Eve 2004, however Pollard continues to write and record as a solo artist and with various collaborators.
