Guided By Voices Deny Breakup Rumors by Announcing New Album

Indie-rock veterans Guided By Voices have claimed that rumors of their demise are greatly exaggerated, pointing to a forthcoming record as proof.

The prolific Ohio outfit became the center of rumor on Monday (May 19) when a new episode of Lou Barlow’s RAW Impressions podcast unintentionally broke the news. However, the apparent revelation may have been a case of miscommunication due to technology, with the episode’s description on YouTube noting that it was “loaded with technical difficulties,” and that “the audio is often breaking up.” In the wake of the rumor mill going into overdrive, a representative for Guided By Voices spoke to Rolling Stone to deny that the band were splitting, and even noted that a new album called Thick Rich and Delicious would be arriving on Halloween.
