Welshpool Frillies

Guided by Voices

Recorded live to tape in a Brooklyn basement, this is a gritty, high-energy document of a veteran band playing with the hunger of a debut act.

It's the sound of the world's most prolific band playing live in a basement and absolutely nailing it.

A high-octane blend of working-class grit and surrealist joy, delivered with veteran precision.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the sudden, driving transition into the chorus of Meet the Star that feels like a band hitting their stride in real time

the way the guitars intertwine on Rust Belt Boogie, creating a thick wall of sound that feels both heavy and melodic

the brief, punchy explosion of energy in Cats on Heat that disappears almost as soon as it arrives
