Strut of Kings

Guided By Voices (the ever-evolving act led by the prolific indie-pop wizard Robert Pollard) have announced their next LP, Strut of Kings, due June 28, 2024 via GBV Inc. Building on 40 years of GBV history, the majestic and triumphant Strut of Kings is the 41st album by the indie rock royalty. Largely recorded in Kings County, New York (Brooklyn), the album is perhaps a gesture towards the malevolent "kings" on the world stage. As "The Serene King" waltzes across the battlefield, Emperor Pollard evokes castles, King Kong and strutting roosters, a surreal yet regal journey. Alongside the album announcement, the band shares the record's first single "Serene King" which serves as track 9 on the 10 song forthcoming LP. Believe it or not, Strut of Kings is the only new Guided By Voices album of 2024, and includes some of GBV's hookiest nuggets in recent memory. "Serene King" is out now on all DSPs and streaming below,. Stay tuned for more on Strut of Kings out June 28.
