Guided By Voices – “Heavy Like The World”
Guided By Voices have already released two albums this year, their February double album Zeppelin Over China and April’s 24-track follow-up Warp And Woof. Today, the wildly prolific lo-fi power pop legends are announcing a new LP and sharing the lead single.
Sweating The Plague drops this fall. It’s billed as Guided By Voices’ 29th album. The press release says the LP was “constructed as a classic 12 song album experience, made to be played loud.” Producer Travis Harrison wanted to maintain GBV’s signature lo-fi style without having it sound “homemade.” He accomplishes just that on the anthemic, guitar-led “Heavy Like The World,” which you can listen to below.
