Robert Pollard Announces New Solo Album, 'Mouseman Cloud'

It's looking like another busy year for Guided By Voices frontman Robert Pollard. He and his band just released Let's Go Eat the Factory earlier this month, but Pollard's already preparing another new project. It's a solo album by the name of Mouseman Cloud and it's due out April 3 on Guided By Voices, Inc.

The record, which is his 18th solo effort, was recorded with frequent collaborator/producer Todd Tobias. They have been working together since at least 2002, when he produced Guided By Voices' The Pipe Dreams of Instant Prince Whippet and Universal Truths and Cycles. Since then, he and Pollard have been inseparable.
