Strut of Kings

Guided by Voices

Polished, anthemic indie rock with a progressive edge. Robert Pollard trades his signature lo-fi hiss for big guitars and dramatic, wide-screen melodies.

It's GBV if they actually had a budget and a love for 70s stadium prog.

A confident and regal collection of guitar anthems that feels both nostalgic and revitalized.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the guitars bloom into a regal, slow-burning anthem on the four-minute opener
The sudden shift from a delicate acoustic intro to a full-band crunch on track seven
The soaring, multi-tracked vocal harmonies that elevate the chorus of the lead single
