King Heavy Metal, the second release from Robert Pollard's self-described "supergroup" (tongue practically piercing his cheek with self-deprecating irony), is a hitherto undiscovered species of rainforest songbird capable of changing colors in the ultraviolet and infrared spectrums. At once prog-struck, collagist, technically impressive and melodically complex, King Heavy Metal lives up to and subverts its title over the course of its twelve songs. Theres stuff on here that wouldnt be out of place on any post-Isolation Drills Guided By Voices album, stuff that wouldnt be out of place on an alternate-universe mid-70s Who album, and stuff thats as lo-fi, booze-addled and sloppy as anything from "classic"-era GBV.
