GUIDED BY VOICES T O SPLIT, THE WORLD OF INDIE MOURNS
GUIDED BY VOICES have announced they are to split after almost 20 years.
The band have announced on their website that the release in August of 'Half Smiles Of The Decomposed’ will be their last album.
A statement reads: "After almost 20 years, assorted lineups, and countless albums, EPs, singles, triples, stolen bases, misdemeanor convictions, and broken hearts, Dayton, OH's fortunate sons are taking leave of your senses.
"'Half Smiles Of The Decomposed' to be released August 24 on Matador Records, will be the final album from Guided By Voices, one of the most acclaimed independent rock bands of all time.
Bandmember Robert Pollard said: "This feels like the last album for Guided By Voices. I've always said that when I make a record that I'm totally satisfied with as befitting a final album, then that will be it. And this is it."
'Half Smiles Of The Decomposed' is the band's 15th full-length studio release. It is possible that Pollard will continue as a solo artist.
He added: "I love the guys in the band, but I'm getting too old to be a gang leader. There's a sense of maturity, and even integrity, I think, in continuing as one's own self."

en ik maar denken dat guided by voices door zou gaan tot Pollard stierf...
Rare dagen... Orbital, Guided by voices.... What's next?

binnen een paar dagen houden mijn 2 van mijn favoriete artiesten er mee op. Ik weet het, ze zijn niet met elkaar te vergelijken. Ik ben toch werkelijk nieuwsgierig wat ze nu gaan doen. Die Orbital-jongens zullen zich nu wel verder in de filmmuziek storten (helaas). En GBV? Tja, die Robert Pollard blijft natuurlijk gewoon 101 liedjes per dag schrijven, erg benieuwd wat ie ermee gaat doen...

Ik heb een simpele oplossing voor al deze berichten omtrent Guided By Voices: ik hem simpelweg niets gezien - weet niets van een split - Pollard heeft simpelweg beweerd dat het een tijdje kan duren voor een volgend album van zijn kant.
Split - welke split?
