HAPPY JACK ROCK RECORDS

Artist:	PSYCHO AND THE BIRDS	Title:	We've Moved
Format:	CD	Catalog Number:	HJRR16CD
Price:	$12.00	Label:	Happy Jack Rock Records
Release Date:	2/18/08
*"The third time's a charm" usually means something has to get screwed up twice before it gets done right. But what if the first two tries are really pretty good? The third one is just so much more... charming. That's what the third Psycho And The Birds release, We've Moved, is all about. Waaaaay back in mid-2006 (we're talking "Bob years" here), Robert Pollard** released two Psycho And The Birds albums. The first, the full-length All That Is Holy, was followed by the EP Check Your Zoo. The concept surrounding Psycho And The Birds is that Pollard writes songs and records them on his infamous boombox (into which every song he has written since the early '90s has been sung), and sends them off to producer/multi-instrumentalist/visionary Todd Tobias, who adds band's worth of music . This time around they totally nail the process, and if the music world allowed artists like Pollard a chance to have a hit, this album would be chock-full of them. "I Love a Revolution" and "Enon Beach" are filled with undeniable likeability and pop goodness. A perfect combo of playful lyrics and flawless arrangement makes it hard to imagine that one entire half of the song was recorded on an $27 boombox. Pollard even pulls out some lyrics in "She Tears Out," first written, he says, as a kid. In some ways, Psycho And The Birds are to Robert Pollard's solo albums what Robert Pollard solo albums are to Guided By Voices releases--another side of Pollard. It's a more user-friendly Psycho And The Birds, more charming. It is the third time, after all! 30-second MP3 excerpts: Person Who Lives In A Thundercloud Rains Remain I Love A Revolution Enon Beach Franklin's Famous Graham Cracker Crust Tomorrow Man Corona Grande She Tears Out Love Theory Hound Has The Advantage Poor Old Pine I'm Never Gonna Leave, You're Never Gonna Win Hybertech Green Sharp Apples We've Moved If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: Go to iTunes to browse downloads for Psycho and the Birds "We've Moved" If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.

RECORDHEAD

Artist:	PSYCHO AND THE BIRDS	Title:	All That Is Holy

Release Date:	6/19/06
*Try to stop the Fading Captain. Just try. Sandwiched between two "official" solo albums, Psycho And The Birds is a "sort-of" solo album and yet another point of light in Robert Pollard's rapidly expanding, post-Guided By Voices universe. Though it was recorded spontaneously, All that is Holy is no mere collection of throw aways. These tunes might emerge again someday. Pollard recently pulled out the old boom box to lay down some ideas and quickly discovered-- surprise!-- he had enough material for a complete album. The tracks were then handed over to studiowhiz Todd Tobias, who proves again why he's Pollard's producer for life. Adding instrumentation to complement the raw recordings, Tobias beautifully weaves and twists harmonies around Pollard's guitar and vocals. The result is an album heavy on the four Ps: pop, punk, prog and psych. Pollard's gift for writing bigtime hooks and the fact that he created these gems "on the spot" is astounding. 30-second MP3 excerpts: The Killers Suffer the Sun Alibible Father is Good Blood Witness Late Night SCamerica Oh My Chosen One alaBAMA Sunrise Kiss You/Kill You Jesus the Clockwork She's Around disturbed Yes an Article Hello Forever Break Some Concentration Nation Gone Dry Frozen Vegetable Fiction 30-second MP3 excerpts: The Killers Suffer the Sun Alibible Father is Good Blood Witness Late Night SCamerica Oh My Chosen One alaBAMA Sunrise Kiss You/Kill You Jesus the Clockwork She's Around disturbed Yes an Article Hello Forever Break Some Concentration Nation Gone Dry Frozen Vegetable Fiction**
