The Pipe Dreams of Instant Prince Whippet

Guided by Voices

A dusty collection of bite-sized psych-pop gems and basement rock. Warm tape hiss blankets sharp melodies and surrealist poetry in a brief, potent burst.

September 17, 2002 · Fading Captain Series

Find on Amazon

A playful and slightly hazy collection of basement psych-pop that feels like a warm, half-remembered dream.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the sub-minute blast of Stronger Lizards into the title track's whimsical psych-pop melody.
The way the vocal harmonies on Keep It Coming swell against the slightly distorted acoustic strumming.
The sprawling, uncharacteristic length of Dig Through My Window which allows a rare sense of slow-burn atmosphere.
