Following GBV’s sprawling double-album Zeppelin Over China, Robert Pollard has written and recorded another full-length in record-breaking time. It’s Warp and Woof, exuberantly barrelling through 24 songs in just 37 minutes with a brevity similar to mid-90s GBV albums 'Alien Lanes' and 'Vampire On Titus'.
After completing Zeppelin, Pollard felt the itch to record a few EPs. Just as GBV had done back in 1994, he would use them to channel his ever-flowing ideas to an outlet. But when a magical boombox writing session produced six fully formed songs in under half an hour, Pollard realized he had an album on his hands. What to do?
With a band so formidable they’ve been dubbed the Golden Age of GBV, the group kicked this one out in a flash, recording in studios, club soundchecks, hotel rooms and even in the tour van.
