Rumors of their demise continue to be exaggerated: Guided by Voices have announced Crawlspace Of The Pantheon, their 44th album, which will be out May 29 via GBV Inc. Like last year’s Thick, Rich & Delicious, this one was recorded live in the studio.
The first single from the album is “We Outlast Them All,” which sounds like a reaction to those rumors that GVB were calling it quits, though Robert Pollard told Rolling Stone that is not necessarily the case. “It could be about any couple or group of people or organization that perseveres over a long period of time,” he says. “If it is referring to us, it’s actually somewhat self-deprecating as the goal is simply to ‘seek to occupy the crawlspace of the pantheon.’”
Whoever it’s about, “We Outlast Them All” is another classic GBV rock anthem and you can check that out below.
For those hoping Guided By Voices’ would announce a few shows, there’s nothing yet on their schedule — they haven’t played live since November of 2024. Let’s hope that changes sooner rather than later.
