Hear new Boston Spaceships mp3 here
http://assets3.pitchforkmedia.com/images/image/52106.x-news-bostonspaceshipscover.jpg?
It's been two weeks since the release of Robert Pollard (http://www.robertpollard.net/)'s last album, Robert Pollard Is Off to Business (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/51163-robert-pollard-is-off-to-business), which means it's time for the announcement of a new one. The prolific Dayton songwriter's next album is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a collaborative effort: the full-length debut from half the band on the "Little Green Onion Man" EP (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/47666-pollard-records-7-with-decemberists-quasi-members).
This new band calls itself Boston Spaceships (http://www.bostonspaceships.com/), and in addition to Pollard, it features Decemberists drummer/Perhapst main man John Moen and frequent Pollard collaborator Chris Slusarenko (Guided by Voices, the Takeovers). The group's first album is called Brown Submarine, and it comes out September 9 via Guided by Voices, Inc. Check out the closing track "Go for the Exit", available for download below.
Boston Spaceships will make their live debut at Cincinnati's Midpoint Music Festival on September 25, after which they will embark on a U.S. tour with the High Strung.
On August 6, Fantagraphics (http://www.fantagraphics.com/) will finally publish Pollard's coffee table art book (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/46804-robert-pollard-attack-two-more-lps-art-showbook), Town of Mirrors: The Reassembled Imagery of Robert Pollard (http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1475&category_id=545&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=62). There will be a release party/art exhibit to celebrate on August 15 at the Merge Records Art Gallery in Durham, North Carolina.
