Pollard continues frenetic pace

The ever-prolific Robert Pollard has much more up his sleeve over the next few months. In addition to the Boston Spaceships disc, Brown Submarine, that’s right around the corner and the latest Circus Devils’ disc, Ataxia, due soon, he has several more projects in the pipeline.

According to Rich T. at Rockathon, those who buy merch on the Boston Spaceships tour will get a download card that allows them access to tracks old and new, including songs from a Circus Devils’ album called Gringo, scheduled for October 2009 release; a Pollard solo album, The Crawling Distance, due Jan. 20; and a track from the sophomore outing from Boston Spaceshpis, The Planets are Blasted, due Feb. 17.

Of course, all of this is subject to change… in fact, I’d bet on it. But it sounds like 2009 is shaping up to be just as prolific as, well, as 2008 and every other year for the past decade or more before it. This year alone he issued five LPs and at least as many EPs, as well as another issue of EAT and his coffee-table book, Town of Mirrors.
