Guided by Voices is an indie rock band formed in Dayton, Ohio, United States in 1983. The band's lineup has changed several times throughout the band's history, with its only constant member being singer/songwriter Robert Pollard. The band's current lineup consists of Robert Pollard (vocals, guitar), Bobby Bare Jr. (guitar), Doug Gillard (guitar), Mark Shue (bass) and Kevin March (drums). Its 23nd and most recent album, "August By Cake", was released on April 7, 2017.
Noted at first for its lo-fi aesthetic and typically Portastudio four-tracks-to-cassette production methods, Guided by Voices' music revealed influences from post-British Invasion garage rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, punk rock and post-punk. The band also garnered much attention for its prolific output, with a seemingly endless stream of releases. Most songs are in the two-minute range, but many are even shorter; often they end abruptly or are intertwined with odd and homemade sound effects.
dare i say these songs don’t carry the inspired weirdness that Guided By Voices travelled in…guess the fault lies in myself as a listener
Nah you’re right, it’s a mostly tepid listen. shorter than August by Cake thankfully, but still boring. It’s time to call it quits.
Alien Lanes is still perfect though.
