Guided by Voices were recently forced to cancel a December show in Toronto on a planned North American tour, but whenever they return, they'll have songs from their 35th studio album in tow.
Today, GBV have announced new album Crystal Nuns Cathedral will arrive independently on March 4. Of their latest, the band share, "This record is a statement, a challenge, a monument, a call to arms. Top this one if you can, this is the new benchmark. Who will best it? Who will try?"
News of the 12-song LP follows a prolific past few years for the Ohio outfit, who delivered both Earth Man Blues and It's Not Them. It Couldn't Be Them. It Is Them! in 2021, after sharing Surrender Your Poppy Field, Mirrored Aztec and Styles We Paid For in 2020.
If you took the band's above call to best them personally, you can hear first single "Excited Ones" down below for a glimpse of what you're up against on Crystal Nuns Cathedral.
Guided by Voices aim to resume their North American tour in March 2022, though a Toronto stop has yet to be rescheduled. You can find their current itinerary here.
