  Carbon Whales

Who are the Carbon Whales? Pop Zeus speculates. Really its a fake Pollard band. I had read reports online that this was one of the better things he had recorded as of late so i bought the web only ep last week. Got it yesterday and have listened to it about 4 times already. Only 4 songs long, but damn - its pretty fucking good.

The story from Rockathon: "The Carbon Whales are an obscure band from the late 70s that actor Paddy Considine turned Bob on to. The 4 songs on this EP are apparently the only things they ever recorded. It was never released. Bob really loved it so we tracked the band down and asked if we could release it. The singer sounds EXACTLY like Bob."

It is Bob, with 2 other dudes. One of which I think is Jim Macpherson, because the drumming is really fucking good and tight like his style. The description Rockathon gives makes sense b/c it sounds like Bob channeling some of his early days. The vocals are all over the place, he may be drunk on multiple songs, but the music is excellent - really tight and well recorded (in a studio not 4 track) some of the guitar work sounds like Gillard (but i doubt it). You can download a song from either of those links if you want to listen. Good shit.

Looking forward to that Boston Spaceships record.
