Biografia:
Após a desagregação da Guided By Boices, no encerramento de 2004, o sempre prolífico e atarefado Robert Pollard realizou trabalhos individuais, criou seu próprio selo (Guide By Voices) e monitorou o lançamento de algumas sobras da Guided By Voices, que já estavam encaminhadas, antes de formar a Boston Spaceships, com Chris Slusarenko (Takeovers, Sprinkler) e John Moen (Decemberists, Dharma Bums).
Idealizado apenas para gravações, o grupo realizou somente dezessete shows durante sua existência, além de uma única e pequena turnê no outono de 2008. Assumindo o conhecido estilo de Pollard, inclinado, porém, para o pop e o rock garagem retrô, a Boston Spaceships lançou os discos "Brown Submarine", em 2008, e "Planets Are Blasted" e "Zero To 99", em 2009, todos pela gravadora de Pollard. "Our Cubehouse Stills Rocks" surgiu em 2010. O trio reuniu-se novamente em 2011 para gravar "Let It Beard", um álbum épico de 70 minutos que contou com a participação dos guitarristas Colin Newman, da Wire, J Mascis, da Dinosaur Jr., Steve Wynn, da Dream Syndicate, e Mick Collins, da Dirtbombs. Em seguida, Pollard dissolveu a banda, alegando que seria impossível superar a grandeza do último disco. Uma coletânea dos grandes sucessos, apropriadamente intitulada "Greatest Hits Of Boston Spaceships", saiu em 2012 (Steve Leggett, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
