Earthquake Glue

Guided by Voices

A thick, melodic slab of midwestern rock. Polished studio production meets surrealist poetry and massive, distorted guitar hooks that feel both heavy and hopeful.

August 10, 2003 · Matador

A robust and slightly weary triumph that finds beauty in surrealist midwestern imagery.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive, triumphant guitar crunch that kicks off My Kind of Soldier, setting a high-stakes tone for the record.
The unexpected melodic shift and layered vocal harmonies during the chorus of The Best of Jill Hives.
The sprawling, psychedelic slow-burn of Secret Star that showcases the band's more ambitious, atmospheric side.
