Description

After a fifteen-year hiatus, the Òclassic lineupÓ of Guided By Voices (Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Mitch Mitchell, Greg Demos and Kevin Fennell) finishes off its year-long reunion tour by releasing an album of 21 new songs, deliberately choosing to return to what bandleader Pollard calls the Òsemi-collegialÓ approach of iconic GBV albums like Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes. LetÕs Go Eat the Factory is much more than a mere return, however: sprawling, variegated, heavy, melodic, and yet still recognizably and coherently Guided By Voices in both its literal and mythic senses.
