Normal Happiness  Hear it Now

RS: 3of 5 Stars

2006

Guided by Voices are now defunct, but leader Pollard hasn't slowed down -- this is his second solo record this year. Happiness sounds like a string of freaked-out AM hits: Songs like "Pegasus Glue Factory" have an appealingly ripe-around-the-edges psych-rock feel, and there's lots of off-handedly charming stuff like the vaguely power-pop "Full Sun." There's also some muddled crap. Pollard could keep this up for a long, long time.
