Album Notes:

Somewhere between the breakneck touring to support Pinback’s breakthrough Touch and Go debut, ‘Summer in Abaddon’, and the release of The Ladies’ debut album (his collaboration with Zach Hill of Hella/Team Sleep), the impossibly prolific Rob Crow had an epiphany: SLOW DOWN. Not coincidentally, this revelation occurred shortly after the birth of his first child (named Robertdale Crow III, of course). Crow’s time at home was suddenly more important than ever. His family is all over ‘Living Well’, his third solo album: in the album title, the artwork (layered with dozens of family photos), and the intensely personal lyrics which document Crow’s courtship with his wife, their marriage, and the subsequent birth of their first child. Not only is ‘Living Well’ Crow’s finest solo album by a country mile, it also transcends many of Pinback’s most canonic moments. It has the hooks and heart that he is famous for, with a refined focus not seen in Crow’s other projects.

 

Robertdale Rulon ‘Rob’ Crow, Jr. (born February 21, 1971) is an American singer and multi-instrumentalist from San Diego, California known for the long list of bands and projects he is associated with, mostly in the genres of indie rock and math rock. He is best known for his involvement with the bands Pinback (co-led by Zach Smith from Three Mile Pilot), Heavy Vegetable, Physics, Optiganally Yours and Thingy; in addition he has also led or leads the bands Advertising, Alpha Males, Altron Tube, Cthugha, Fantasy Mission Force, Goblin Cock, Holy Smokes, The Ladies, Other Men and Remote Action Sequence Project, as well as performing and releasing solo records under his own name and under the name Snotnose. He sang on four tracks on Team Sleep’s 2005 self-titled debut album, Drive Like Jehu’s 1994 album Yank Crime and Creedle’s 1996 album When The Wind Blows. In 2005 Crow also joined Aspects of Physics on guitars, performing with them as they opened for his own band Pinback.

 

One of his solo releases, titled Living Well, was released in January 2007 on Temporary Residence Limited. Music videos for songs “Up” and “I Hate You, Rob Crow” have also been released.

 

Rob Crow is featured in the album “So it Goes” and in the single “Kind of Widow” both by Shigekazu Aida. He also was featured in “People Staying Awake” on Sleeping People’s latest album Growing.

 

In 2009, Rob Crow acted as co-producer along with musician/comedian JP Hasson on a collection of fake TV theme songs titled “An Album of Distinction” by JP Incorporated and released by Comedy Central.

 

He will be releasing his new album ‘He Thinks He’s People’ on October 18, 2011.
