NEW ALBUM AND BOOK COMING FROM ROBERT POLLARD IN JUNE

Robert Pollard’s lone solo release for 2008, “Robert Pollard is Off to Business,” and the first album on newly founded Guided By Voices Inc. label arrives in stores this June.  A hardcover, coffee table book comes on the heels of the new album with Town of Mirrors: The Reassembled Imagery of Robert Pollard arriving in stores on Aug. 6 from Fantagraphics. 

In addition to being a prolific songwriter/recording artist, Pollard is a gifted and prolific visual artist, working mostly in the medium of collage. His work has been exhibited at Michael Imperioli’s Studio Dante in New York and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH. He has created the covers to almost every Guided By Voices record and countless other Pollard-related releases. Town of Mirrors collects the very best of Pollard’s visual art and lyrics/poetry. 

Featuring over 180 of Pollard’s favorite collages, hand-picked by the artist, as well as over a dozen new collages produced exclusively for this collection, Town of Mirrors is the first comprehensive collection of Pollard’s visual art ever released. Pollard’s collages are the visual equivalent of his poetic and imagistic lyrics, surreal and reminiscent of the collages of Winston Smith.
