Release notes: Guided By Voices is now an unlikely candidate for the most perfect rock band of all time, while at the same time being a thoughtful reflection on what a rock band is, a fantasy that becomes a fact.
Sweating The Plague, the band's 29th album and their third this year, spars playfully with stadium-sized fidelity and uncharacteristically impactful arrangements. Producer Travis Harrison's counterintuitive approach to Guided By Voices' historically lo-fi sound is that he doesn�t want it to sound homemade, while the grinding tectonic plate guitars of Doug Gillard and Bobby Bare Jr. anchor the album. Play it loud!
Being a fan of Guided By Voices can feel like standing in a ticker-tape parade and reaching out to grab at stray releases as the endless flurry of output from the Needmore Songs publishing house billows around-but here's twelve compatible nuggets of Pollard content in one handy package, all boxed up and ready to go.
Upcoming GBV LP "Street Party" mentioned by Bob in note posted to GuidedByVoices.com on July 11th, 2018. Title later changed to "Rise Of The Ants" and potential release date moved to Late October 2019. Title changed again in 2019 to "Sweating The Plague" 3 singles are currently planned to be released before the album comes out. Album will be 12 songs in 38 minutes. 3 songs cut from the album will be the b-sides for the singles. |
