Release Notes:
Welcome to the commencement of 2013�s Guided By Voices recorded output. Please take your seats quickly. For those who slept through 2012, the Dayton, OH, rock legends released three hugely-acclaimed albums last year and toured throughout the United States of America, including Florida. Bandleader Robert Pollard also put out two solo albums, a couple issues of his collage-heavy zine Eat, as well as a �Best Of� record by his other old band Boston Spaceships, and conquered the moon, probably.
Down by the Racetrack is Guided By Voices stretching out in a way not seen since early- to mid-�90s EPs like Get Out My Stations or Clown Prince of the Menthol Trailer. It�s a particular kind of lo-fi weirdness, from the spooky background �aahs� on �Pictures of the Man� to the drunk piano bashing on �Standing in a Puddle of Flesh.� The mix of wild, tossed-off vocals, raw guitar chug and skewed �Eleanor Rigby� / �See Emily Play� sweetness could only have originated from the Midwest-warped minds of Dayton�s canniest rock warlocks.
CD cover art differs from the 7" in that the word "FRONT" is not included on the CD artwork. |
