Robert Pollard to Release New Solo Album, Lord of the Birdcage

Garage rock guru, Robert Pollard, of Guided By Voices fame (?) is set to release a new solo album, entitled Lord of the Birdcage. We're still waiting for our advance copy but word has it the sloshed tunesmith reversed his usual songwriting process this time around by writing musical accompaniment to compliment previously written poems. Lord of the Birdcage will hit stores on June 7 or you can pre order here.
