The ever-prolific and always active Guided By Voices is back at it again with their recently announced first release of 2023, La La Land, a brand new LP due January 20 via GBV Inc. Today, the band shares the record's newest single, "Queen of Spaces." The track was premiered by Stereogum, who described it as "a pretty ballad that’s dominated by strings." "It’s not the power-pop jam that I was expecting, but GBV contain multitudes," said writer Tom Breihan.

On their forthcoming release, bandleader Robert Pollard wrote:

"La La Land is somewhat of a companion piece to Tremblers and Goggles By Rank and continues to explore a path of diversity in styles and in longer, more adventurous song structures."

Earlier this year, GBV shared two other records: Tremblers and Goggles By Rank (La La Land's companion) and Crystal Nuns Cathedral. Their last and third album of 2022, Scalping The Guru, is out October 28 via GBV Inc. It is described as an archival GBV release envisioned and sequenced by Robert Pollard as a cohesive album, featuring select tracks from four Guided By Voices EPs released in 1993-1994 by Domino, City Slang, Siltbreeze, and Engine Records. These hard to find records are essential listening for fans of Vampire On Titus and Bee Thousand, which exhibit GBV classics including "My Impression Now," "Matter Eater Lad," and "Big School." Many of these tracks have never been available to stream until now.
