Guided by Voices release their 40th album, Strut of Kings, at the end of June, and here’s the latest single. “Fictional Environment Dream” is another anthemic Bob Pollard earworm that swings for the fences and connects. How does he do it again and again and again? Listen below.
While GBV’s output has been especially prolific lately, with sometimes three records out in a single year, the band are taking time to savor Strut of Kings, which they say will be their only album of 2024. They are on the road, however, with their summer tour kicking off over the weekend in Minneapolis and hitting NYC’s Irving Plaza on June 21 with old buddies The Moles opening. All dates are listed below.
