Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Department is an album released by Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard in 1999.[1] For the album, Gillard recorded instrumental tracks for songs Pollard had written (along with contributing four instrumentals of his own), to which Pollard later added vocals.
The fifth track of the album, 'Do Something Real', appeared as the final soundtrack to Steven Soderbergh's 2002 film, Full Frontal.
The two would collaborate again in 2003 under the moniker Lifeguards with the album Mist King Urth; this time, however, Gillard composed all the instrumentals himself, with Pollard adding lyrics and vocals.
