Robert Pollard reissuing 1996 solo debut (listen); Guided by Voices tour starts this week

Print

It’s hard to recall, but there was a time when Robert Pollard only released records via Guided By Voices. His first solo album, Not in My Air Force, didn’t appear until 1996, around the time that Tobin Sprout exited GBV. The LP, originally out on Matador, has been out of print for some time, but is getting a 20th anniversary vinyl/digital repress via Rockathon Records on September 9. Pre-orders are available now and you can stream “Get Under It” from the LP, below.

Pollard and his new lineup of Guided by Voices start their tour this week, including the headlining slot at the 2016 Village Voice 4Knots Festival on Saturday (7/9). 4Knots is free and all-ages.
