Guided by Voices' last album Thick Rich And Delicious (October 2025) was lauded by NPR's All Things Considered and picked #1 on Magnet Magazine's Best Albums Of 2025. The single "We Outlast Them All" from this latest, Crawlspace Of The Pantheon, is an anthemic victory lap on album #44 from the indie rock stalwarts. Robert Pollard told Rolling Stone: " 'We Outlast Them All' could be our 'We Are The Champions' but it's not necessarily about us. It's about anyone who perseveres over a long period of time." On Crawlspace Of The Pantheon: "I worked much more diligently on this set of lyrics. I chiseled away at lines and sections and phrasings... I wanted them to have an overall emotionally conceptual feel. At times it feels somewhat autobiographical."Guided by Voices will not be on tour in 2026. Pollard recently told Magnet: "Why would we stop playing live and make these kinds of records? I don't know. We do what we wanna do.""Pollard is the greatest rock lyricist of all time." -Dennis Cooper
