DOUG GILLARD - Salamander (Pink Frost)

Doug, the cool-as-shit guitarist for Guided By Voices, unleashes a solo records as GBV bids farewell. Recorded at Waterloo Sound in Kent, Ohio, with Scott Bennett and the crew, this CD showcases Gillard to be much more than a guitarist (no news for fans of Gem, Cobra Verde or Death of Samantha). Some amazingly strong pop tunes, with hints of The Wipers, Television (excellent guitar work) and more poking through. Doug played almost all the instruments, with Jon Wurster of Superchunk drumming on three tunes.
