Pollard Preps Two More Albums

In the battle to embody the word prolific, alt-rock statesman Robert Pollard is giving reigning champion Ryan Adams a run for his money. In addition to the recent string of news announcing Pollard’s ceaseless supply of albums, including last week’s news regarding the Takeovers‘ record, the former Guided by Voices frontman has now confirmed two more musical affairs. Standard Gargoyle Decisions and Coast to Coast Carpet of Love will both drop Oct. 9 via Merge. But beforehand, Pollard will ignite a year-long singles club via robertpollard.net. The club will offer a track from each of his new records as well as a non-album song each month. And with a musical output like Pollard’s, this singles could soon contain an LPs worth of material.
