Guided By Voices Announce 'Crawlspace of the Pantheon,' Release Lead Single 'We Outlast Them All'

Pollard emphasizes a one-take genesis with unusually meticulous lyrics.

Overview

  • The album is scheduled for release on May 29 via Guided By Voices Inc Records.
  • Pollard says he wrote the music and melody for "We Outlast Them All" straight through in a single take.
  • He describes the track as an anthem of perseverance that is not necessarily about the band.
  • The LP continues the group's recent in-studio, all-together tracking approach, with Pollard stressing refined, conceptually cohesive lyrics.
  • Stereogum notes the song's nearly four-and-a-half-minute runtime and flags disagreement over whether this is the band's 43rd or 44th studio album.
