Cub Scout Bowling Pins—"Heaven Beats Iowa"

Updated: Jan 8, 2021

----Released 6 January 2021


So, I'm not sure who all is involved with Cub Scout Bowling Pins but it's obviously Robert Pollard at the helm and boy, does he deliver with this one. The track is this wonderful lo-fi romp of organ, handclaps, backup harmonies, and one of the best and most memorable hooks I've heard in a long time. Seriously, this hook is on par with anything The Beatles, The Kinks, or The Monkees have ever done and this track would fit like a glove within a playlist of all three. There's something so triumphant and cathartic about this hook. It makes me want to sing along. It makes me want to cry. And I could totally hear this at the end of a Wes Anderson film (though I hope that doesn't turn anyone off). I know 2021 just started but "Heaven Beats Iowa" will be one of my top tracks of the year. Come find me in December. You'll see.
