2021-2022 PRESS HIGHLIGHTS"Fist-pumping, Quadrophenia-esque" - Gothamist
"'Never Mind the List' leads with very windmillable guitar chords, and features a spiraling melody that doesn't quite follow traditional verse-chorus-verse structure but is nonetheless catchy as hell." - Brooklyn Vegan
“'Excited Ones' boasts big power-pop energy with its stomping drums and guitars that crunch with just a bit of jangle." - Rolling Stone
"Yet another supercatchy powerpop number from Robert Pollard's endless bank of these, that once again tips its hat towards The Who" - Brooklyn Vegan
"Earth Man Blues squarely hits all the marks that make Guided By Voices great — again and again and again.Could be the GBV’s best album since 1995’s Alien Lanes." **** 4 stars - Rolling Stone
“Earth Man Blues is all killer" ***** 5 stars - Shindig Magazine
"'Sunshine Girl Hello' has a glowing ’60s guitar lick that animates its darkly intimate lyrics about unrequited love, while album closer 'Child’s Play' elevates the simplicity of its doubled guitar noodling with a buzzing harmony that mirrors the boundless energy of its lyrics." - Pitchfork
"Bob remains an earworm factory that operates 24/7 and 2021 has been a banner year for GBV" - Brooklyn Vegan "Pairing the band’s brief, light-grunge songwriting with a quick succession of moving footage and still images of their live show with barely decipherable imagery of ’50s television shows, Sunday morning cartoons, Hindu deity, The Great Train Robbery, American military propaganda, and much more provides the sensation of quickly flipping channels." - FLOOD
"They are as essential and as American as Grateful Dead, The Band and REM." - Joyzine
“‘My (Limited) Engagement’ is hook-laden heavy guitar pop/rock with a soaring vocal melody from Bob, anchored by solid and slightly atypical timing.” - Rolling Stone
