Mag Earwhig!

Guided by Voices

A pivot toward hi-fi muscle where basement-born melodies meet professional grit. Sprawling, surreal, and packed with more hooks than most bands manage in a career.

It's like a lost 70s arena rock classic recorded by a genius in an Ohio basement.

A triumphant and surreal explosion of rock energy that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The massive, stadium-sized guitar riff that anchors I Am a Tree, signaling a new era of sonic fidelity.
The sudden transition from the skeletal acoustic beauty of Now to War into the jagged punk energy of Jane of the Waking Universe.
The way Bulldog Skin balances a crunchy, radio-ready hook with Pollard's signature cryptic, poetic delivery.
