My review of Robert Pollard’s most recent side-project, Boston Spaceships, and their album Brown Submarine‘);?> can be found in ALARM Magazine #33.
While I was a huge fan of Pollard’s , Boston Spaceships didn’t grab me in the same way. It’s a good album, just not as exciting. Opener “Winston’s Atomic Bird” is certainly a highlight, but I can’t say any of the tracks held my attention (or cropped up in my head for weeks) like the ones on Robert Pollard is Off to Business. More songs for the endless catalog.
