The Planets Are Blasted

Following a four-star review in Mojo and a successful whirlwind US tour, Boston Spaceships return to Earth just five months later with their sophomore album!

Chris Slusarenko (Guided By Voices, Sprinkler) and John Moen (Decemberists, Elliott Smith) have never been so impressive. Robert Pollard himself was sequestered in Dayton, Ohio for nearly two years without touring, concentrating on his songwriting and artwork. The trio's efforts are readily apparent on The Planets Are Blasted.

This nuanced and transcendent rock album culminates with four of Pollard's best songs yet. The majestic and metaphorical Queen of Stormy Weather, who threatens to pee on my parade, is followed by The Town That's After Me, which combines acoustic, electric guitar and strings to stunning effect. Sight on Sight, a four-minute mini-epic, detours to otherworldly chants, echoes and drones, sitars, handrums, and tambourines, but rocks like heck, and the verse of Heavy Crown is melodically reminiscent of the Guided By Voices hit Everywhere With Helicopter, but Pollard ups the ante with an even better chorus and then goes over the top with a still catchier refrain.
