Philadelphia Orchestra / Ormandy - Symphony 6 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Robert Pollard has a very strong work ethic. With most of their touring canceled due to the pandemic and then a fractured kneecap, Guided by Voices ran up an extremely prolific streak in the studio, recording and releasing eight albums in the past three years and garnering piles of rave four star and five star reviews in the process. In case one were snoozing, the last album, La La Land was Uncut magazine's InchBest Of The Month.Inch The pandemic records were particularly notable and unique that the band members recorded most of their instruments individually in separate cities. Welshpool Frillies finds the gang back together, in a Brooklyn basement with producer Travis Harrison. Much of it was recorded live to tape. The catchy ear worms in these new songs are undeniable, as the kinetic energy of the band is captured in it's most raw and pure form. The album is brash, no-frills, and punky, inspired by the wiliness of 90s-era GBV, specifically the Scalping The Guru compilation that Pollard put together in 2022. 2023 marks the 40th anniversary of GBV's start in Dayton, Ohio. Robert Pollard was an elementary school teacher with no formal music training, and his unlikely success has been an odds-defying adventure. It's never too late to discover this vital rock band and join the GBV cult.

One October evening at the Châtelet, Pietragalla met Barbara in her dressing room. From that embrace, from that gaze, was born the desire for a joint project, left suspended like an unfinished promise. From her show, Pietragalla Barbara, then arose the thirst to delve further into the fragile and incandescent world of the InchLady in Black.Inch This path, patiently traversed in the solitary complicity of creation, now finds it's setting in the sensitive and luminous piano of Yannaël Quenel, and is illuminated by an unforgettable duet with Serge Lama. Thus, the InchWoman who DancesInch pays tribute to the InchWoman who SingsInch and, in her own way, fulfills the dream shared with Barbara.
