Produced by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith), band leader Robert Pollard's latest collection of songs blends the lo-fi production values of previous albums with a newfound adoption of big studio aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003eDiscarding the strings of 1999's DO THE COLLAPSE, ISOLATION DRILLS is a more straightforward rock affair, relying on Pollard's puzzling, inventive lyrics to transcend traditional sonic landscapes. Ex-Cobra Verde guitarist Doug Gillard's punchy hooks provide the perfect backdrop for Pollard's verbal shenanigans, most notably on the album's first single, \"Chasing Heather Crazy,\" a prime example of the instantly catchy melodies that have made Pollard fans drool for years. The rest of the record alternates uptempo tracks such as \"Skills Like This\" and \"Run Wild\" with more somber efforts like \"Frostman\" and \"Sister I Need Wine.\" Other standouts include \"Twilight Campfighter,\" \"The Enemy,\" and \"Fine to See You.\" With ISOLATION DRILLS, Pollard proves that his creative juices continue to flow, whether on a four-track in an Ohio basement, or in a major studio in New York City.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42021780521125,"sku":"195497941032","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/549e845d7543ccba636d0f2f0fc4d80f.jpg?v=1777589863","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/en-gb\/products\/isolation-drills","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
