Guided By Voices – Surrender Your Poppy Field
Guided By Voices
A new year, a new Guided by Voices album. Fresh off a 100-song New Year’s Eve performance, Robert Pollard’s prolific alternative rock outfit has released its new record, Surrender Your Poppy Field.
Spanning 15 tracks, today’s effort arrives through Pollard’s own GBV Inc. It follows the group’s trio of 2019 releases: Zeppelin Over China, Warp and Woof, and Sweating the Plague. The title album’s title, Surrender Your Poppy Field, is reference to a scene in The Wizard of Oz (in which “Surrender Dorothy” is written in the sky), as well as from one of GBV’s own past projects.
