Face of Smiles
"Disparate imagery converges to tell the story of someone experiencing a sense of loss." — Doug Gillard
Bio
Doug Gillard's formidable body of recordings is as impressive as it is voluminous, encompassing his work as a key member of such notable combos as Guided by Voices, Nada Surf, Death of Samantha, Cobra Verde, and Gem, as well as an array of noted collaborations with the likes of Richard Buckner, Neko Case, Bill Fox, and The Hold Steady. Parallel Stride is the Ohio-bred, New York-based singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist's fourth official solo album.
Although he's well established as a luminary of the American indie-rock community, Gillard's musical sensibility is firmly rooted in the time-honored old-school virtues of catchy melodic craft, emotionally resonant lyrics and emotion-charged performances — "Wire backing Paul McCartney," as the apt shorthand goes. In 2023, he was named to Rolling Stone's list of the 250 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
