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.
