With most of their touring canceled due to the pandemic and then a fractured kneecap, Guided By Voices ran up an extremely prolific streak in the studio, recording and releasing eight albums in the past three years and garnering piles of rave 4 **** star & 5 **** star reviews in the process. In case you were snoozing, the last album, La La Land was Uncut Magazine's Best of the Month. The pandemic records were particularly notable and unique that the band members recorded most of their instruments individually in separate cities. Welshpool Frillies finds the gang back together, in a Brooklyn basement with producer Travis Harrison. Much of it was recorded live to tape. The catchy ear worms in these new songs are undeniable, as the kinetic energy of the band is captured in its most raw and pure form. The album is brash, no-frills, and punky, inspired by the wiliness of 90s-era GBV, specifically the Scalping the Guru compilation that Pollard put together in 2022. 2023 marks the 40th anniversary of GBV’s start in Dayton, Ohio. Robert Pollard was an elementary school teacher with no formal music training, and his unlikely success has been an odds-defying adventure. It's never too late to discover this vital rock band and join the GBV cult.   Welshpool Frillies - CREDITS: All songs written by Robert Pollard, Needmore Songs (BMI)  Produced by Travis Harrison GBV is: Robert Pollard, Doug Gillard, Bobby Bare Jr., Mark Shue, Kevin March GUIDED BY VOICES LINKS Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Spotify | Apple Music
