Talk about big releases. Robert Pollard takes a break from uploading lockdown videos to his Hot Freak subscription service in order to bestow on us not just a new Guided By Horses album, but one critics are citing as the band's finest since the mid-1990s: a statement that's more about how good this is and how seminal the likes of Alien Lanes were, rather than a slight at what landed in between.



Big in back story, and equally huge in scope, the tracks occupy a space close to rock opera territory, helping tell tales of childhood memories, albeit through a typically surrealist frame. Monumental sonics that seem hellbent on combining memorable, chart-friendly hooks with a musical experimentation, punk, melodic grandeur and heavy rock crash, glide and meld together in an intoxicatingly strange brew.
