44. GUIDED BY VOICES –
LET’S GO EAT THE FACTORY
At the top of the year this came out and it was a good start to 2012. A lot of sketches, some might argue, but I loved how Guided By
Voices flit from idea to idea, often in under 2 minutes. They’ve got just under
20 albums in their back catalogue now; so fucking prolific since 1987. There’s much music to read about and discover nowadays and even though I saw these
guys live in 2003, I’d honestly forgotten how exploratory they were. Well shame on me. I'm a mockery of a sham. This is hardly meat and potatoes rock. It’s a burst of styles and a
kaleidoscope of a journey. It’s a timeless sounding rock album that could serve
as a good introduction to their prior work. This doesn’t need to be
daunting though. I know that I for one am going to delve into their old stuff
with glee.
BEST PLAYED: When
craving creativity from an often turgid indie rock horizon.
