Surrender Your Poppy Field

Guided by Voices

A dense, high-fidelity evolution of the band's classic sound. Surrealist power pop meets prog-rock ambition with massive hooks and thick, analog guitar layers.

It's like a classic rock radio station from a parallel dimension where every song is only two minutes long.

A high-energy blend of whimsical surrealism and muscular, hook-driven rock confidence.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden shift into a soaring, classic rock chorus on Year of the Hard Hitter that feels earned after the jagged intro.

The minute-long burst of Woah Nelly that packs more hooks than most bands manage in a four-minute single.

The way the guitar textures on Volcano seem to melt into one another during the bridge, creating a brief psychedelic haze.
