“Again and again and again”, is perhaps GBV’s credo, withRobert Pollard’s never-ending supply of fascinating andsupremely catchy rock. Just when one thinks one’s got thempinned down, album number thirty-four opens with bizarrepercussion, mariachi trumpets, strings and acoustic guitar.The adventurous spirit pervades yet another killer album fromthe greatest and most versatile GBV line-up. The golden boys(Doug Gillard, Bobby Bare Jr, Mark Shue, Kevin March)can do no wrong.
Hooky singles “My (Limited) Engagement”, “High In TheRain” and “Dance of Gurus” intermingle with occasionally darklyrics and the oddest of GBV oddballs, the ridiculous “RazorBug”, “Psycho House”, and the “Maintenance Man Of TheHaunted House”. The horns and strings return intermittently,with “The Bells Get Out Of The Way” going full Burt Bacharach.It’s Not Them. It Couldn’t Be Them. It Is Them! is a creative tourde-force full of surprises from the most prolific and captivatingband on the planet.
