A Constant Strangle

Taken from "Moses On A Snail" 2010

Lyrics Unknown

Taken from "Moses On A Snail" and a song that sums up the album quite well. A slow to mid-tempo track with an almost lumbering sound. A really good song that sticks in your head.

Heaven's Gate

Taken from "Blues and Boogie Shoes" 2006

Lyrics Unknown

The mighty power pop that is Robert Pollard and Tommy Keene as Keene Brothers. Another anthem and always nice to hear synths in a Bobby P song. There will never be too much singing at Heaven's Gate.

Pressurized

Taken from "Completed Soundtrack For The Tropic Of Nipples" 2002

"yes, the fruits and spoils
of our good people
at peace with equality
vast
northern
neighborly
all the properties that call us home
from wherever our swollen feet
are mistreated
by uncompromising streets"

Like standing in the next room when a band is playing live. Fuzzy. Distored. Dulled. Antler are too weird for me.

Zero Fix

Taken from "Brown Submarine" 2008

Lyrics Unknown

Classic Boston Spaceships sound. Built to high kick and punch the air to and a driving almost punk rhythm. Great song from a great Pollard Project. Features the most inhuman scream ever recorded.

I Shot A Jezebel

Taken from "Suitcase 3", 2009

Lyrics Unknown

Has the feels of an improvised jam. Its always interesting to hear the early stages of the song writing process. Bob sings with a lot of passion on this one.
