Motivational Jumpsuit

Guided by Voices

Twenty tracks of caffeinated indie rock and surrealist power pop. Big, fuzzy hooks delivered in short, sharp bursts of midwestern garage energy.

February 17, 2014 · Guided By Voices Inc.

A high-velocity burst of midwestern optimism filtered through distorted guitars and cryptic poetry.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, soaring vocal harmony that elevates the minute-long sprint of Child Activist.

The way Planet Score builds a massive arena-rock hook only to vanish in under two minutes.

The jangly, melancholic guitar line that anchors the surprisingly tender Record Level Love.
