By: Guided By Voices
Appears on: Half Smiles of the Decomposed
For all its rocking moments, Half Smiles Of The Decomposed is not without its soft spots. “A Second Spurt Of Growth” adds a gentle touch of finger-plucked acoustic guitars to break up the album’s second side, beautifully accompanied by the signature “noises & atmospheres” sounds of producer Todd Tobias and Robert Pollard’s vocals.
