BOSTON SPACESHIPS - THE PLANETS ARE BLASTED (GUIDED BY VOICES INC 5)

PRE - ORDER
RELEASE DATE FEBRUARY 27 2009

Guests include a string trio, Greg Demos (GBV 1990-99), Gary Jarman
(The Cribs) and Chris Funk (The Decemberists).

Following
a 4-star review in Mojo and a successful whirlwind U.S. tour, Boston
Spaceships return to Earth with their sophomore album just 5 months
later!

The nuanced and transcendent rock album culminates in an extraordinary
side 2 with four of Pollard's best yet:
- the majestic and metaphorical "Queen of Stormy Weather" who
threatens to "pee on my parade."
- "The Town That's After Me" combines acoustic, electric guitar and
strings to stunning effect.
-
"Sight On Sight," a 4-minute mini-epic, detours to otherworldly chants,
echoes and drones, sitars, handrums and tambourines, but rocks like
heck.
- the verse of "Heavy Crown" is melodically reminiscent of the
Guided By Voices hit "Everywhere With Helicopter", but Pollard ups the
ante with an even better chorus and then goes over the top with a still
catchier refrain.

Another Pollard classic
