Release Notes: The latest collaboration project from Robert Pollard comes with a bit of a twist. Pollard hooks
up with another indie rock icon Richard Davies (THE MOLES, CARDINAL) to bring you the band Cosmos. On Jar Of Jam Ton Of Bricks vocal duties are split between the two
heavyweights. Pollard takes lead vocals on eight songs, Davies on four. Davies enlists some of his Massachusetts merry men to assist with the music including David Minehan (THE NEIGHBORHOODS) and Malcom Travis (HUMAN SEXUAL RESPONSE, SUGAR). Jar Of Jam Ton Of Bricks flows back and forth between the atmospheric acoustic sounds with great Pollard melodies on top (Sudden Storms Are Normal, Just By Pushing A Button) to the all out pop rockers (Nude Metropolis, Westward Ho). The album concludes with a bang with the emotionally charged Davies sung tune Hail Mary.
From Magnet December 2008 article:
The most intriguing release is the Cosmos LP, a "postal rock" collaboration with Australian singer/songwriter Richard Davies of Cardinal and Moles fame (relatively speaking). As usual with this kind of Pollard project, Pollard wrote lyrics and melodies, singing over Davies� backing tracks. The difference with Jar Of Jam Ton Of Bricks is that it will include four tunes Davies submitted with his vocals that Pollard elected to keep as is.
