Thick Rich And Delicious [LP]

Guided By Voices - Thick Rich And Delicious [LP]

Classic power pop from the kings of hooks * Cut live and hot to tape with minimal overdubs * No export restrictions Robert Pollard:"I'm a student of hooks. That perfect combination of a lyric and a chord pattern that gives you that chill up the back of your spine." Thick Rich And Delicious overflows with hooks. It plays through front-to-back like a power pop classic but don't misconstrue pop for soft. The basic tracks were cut live and hot to tape and are presented with minimal overdubs. The band recorded in a Brooklyn studio at extreme volumes conjuring the spontaneity and electric energy of their legendary live show. Complimenting Pollard's lead vocals harmonies are sung by Grammy-nominated Bobby Bare Jr and Pollard (aka "The Self-Righteous Bros"). The sound delivers on the album's titular promise-thick rich and delicious. Pollard combines a new batch of songs with a basket of unrecorded gems dating back to the band's nascent years. The chorus of "Oxford Talawanda" contains a never-used hook that Pollard has been singing for nearly his entire life. With Thick Rich And Delicious you can get that satisfaction.
