Lifeguards. Waving At The AstronautsLabel: Ernest Jenning
Released: 2/15/2011
Waving At The Astronauts may be the best and most internally consistent CD's worth of songs that Robert Pollard has highkicked to since 1997's Mag Earwhig! More riff-o-centric than psychedelic thanks to Doug Gillard's crunchy, ass-shaking chord progressions and rhythm guitar, the CD is a joy to listen to from start to finish. Especially once you learn to enjoy lines like, "You're gonna need a gris-gris made from the teeth of lions," instead of wringing your kleenex over what it all means.
Listen to "Paradise is Not So Bad" and "Product Head" on the Lifeguards' myspace page here.
