THROWING SHAPES IN THE FOUNTAINS
released MARCH 26, 2018
RELEASE 40
Five covers of current-lineup Guided By Voices songs, recorded right after Space Gun came out. They've put out a lot more albums since then, but at this time I chose to do 1 song from each album: Please Be Honest (an album that only has 1 person on it, but whose tour warranted a need for a new lineup), August By Cake (which I did 2 songs from since the non-Pollard members also wrote songs), How Do You Spell Heaven, and the previously mentioned Space Gun. If there's anything on here that I think actually works, it's the organ/metronome cover of "Sudden Fiction", a Mark Shue tune. The setup I was using at the time really didn't lend itself to big rock stuff, but I ignored that and made a lot of terrible music chasing a sound that was well out of reach.
