Kid Marine is the third solo studio album by American indie rock musician Robert Pollard, released in 1999. [1] It is the first release of Robert Pollard's Fading Captain Series.
Pollard has stated that the album is about Jeff "Kid Marine" Davis, the person pictured on the cover. [2] Robert told Mojo magazine, "My personal favorite: a weird record, almost a concept album, about the typical Ohio male and what he does - drink, watch television, eat pizza. It got mixed reviews; there are people who hate it and others who think it's our best record and I'm on their side. I just love the songs. It feels like one piece, like it all fits together. I like the cover and I like the whole package."
Pollard has also stated he would like to work on a second Kid Marine (Kid Marine 2) at some point in the future, exploring similar themes and concepts.
