Album: Kid Marine
Year: 1999
. . .
Recorded around the same time as Do The Collapse — the album with Ric Ocasek where GBV discovered that even with polish, they were too weird to fully break big — with the only real difference in personnel being that Pollard handled all of the guitars, I honestly don’t remember a fucking thing about Kid Marine, except that it was the first in what Pollard called his Fading Captain Series. Or maybe that was the label. Or maybe both.
Oh, and “Far Out Crops,” one of the weird experiments on Pollard’s solo albums that well and truly worked.
