August By Cake is the forthcoming album from Guided By Voices, expected out on shelves April 7th through the band’s own GBV Inc. Records.
Spanning a generous 32 tracks, it marks their first-ever double album and serves as Robert Pollard’s 100th studio effort (!) since 1986’s Forever Since Breakfast. What’s more, August is the first GBV record in the band’s storied history to include contributions from all five members.
Fans got a sneak peek at the record earlier this year with The Who-esque “Hiking Skin”. Pollard and the crew return today with a second offering in “Dr. Feelgood Falls Off The Ocean”, which pleasantly makes use of a snappy drum machine and ringing guitar chords.
Stream it down below.
GBV will embark on a US tour beginning next month, including both weekends at Coachella.
