Guided By Voices Are Starting Out 2025 in the ‘Universe Room’

Guided By Voices have announced their new album, 'Universe Room.'

“I wanted to create, hopefully, an experience, kind of a wild ride, where the listener would want to hear it multiple times in order to grasp all the sections and fields of sound to discover something new with each listen,” frontman Robert Pollard tells Rolling Stone of the album, which was produced by Travis Harrison. It will also drop the same day as a new album from Australian indie-pop band the Moles, via Pollard’s Splendid Research label. “Every song on [the album] is up there with his finest and so it’s no small feat that after 35 years of making beautiful records, this one is his best.” The first single, the jangly “Chimes,” drops today.
