Product Information

The first thing the listener will notice about Ricked Wicky is that it is the most musically adept project Guided By Voices' mage Robert Pollard has undertaken in some time, at least since late period-GBV, or even Boston Spaceships. Credit the players: bolstering the easy mastery of a dizzying array of song writing forms one naturally expects (and receives) from Pollard are the impressive instrumental prowess of fellow Daytonian Nick Mitchell (»no blood relation to Mitch«, Pollard stresses), multi-instrumentalist and producer Todd Tobias, and »the worldly Kevin March«, (Pollard again) who does double duty these days in Guided By Voices. Used to great effect on ISTC: »Rotten Backboards« is as gorgeous and melancholic a tune as Pollard has ever written, and lyrically sounds a note of wistfulness that long-time fans will not find unfamiliar. »She can run, »cause that‹s what I did«, sings Pollard over a sublimely-textured background of synth-strings, arpeggiated guitar, piano, and clattery drums. »A Real Stab« which seems to be about needles, or the messengers of Oz, or paper bags. It's one of the best songs on an album of standouts. Ricked Wicky may not be a super group as the term is too-commonly used, but there's no real doubt they're a super group.
