Clown Prince of the Menthol Trailer

Guided by Voices

Ten minutes of high-velocity lo-fi surrealism. British Invasion hooks buried under layers of tape hiss and comic book imagery.

Find on Amazon

It's like finding a lost Beatles tape in a dumpster behind a comic book shop.

A frantic and joyful collision of high-concept pop hooks and low-fidelity grit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The frantic, garage-punk energy of Matter Eater Lad that ends just as it hits its peak.
The transition into the surprisingly melodic and melancholic acoustic strumming of Jonny Appleseed.
The jarring, 36-second blast of Pink Gun that feels like a transmission from a different dimension.
