Guided by Voices keep the hooks coming on Thick Rich and Delicious, their 42nd studio album and another dense helping of Robert Pollard's restless songcraft.
Released in 2025, the record continues the Dayton band's remarkable late-career streak, which has seen new albums arrive at an exhausting pace. This one mixes fresh material with older songs Pollard had never properly recorded, so it doubles as a dig through his famously bottomless notebooks. Producer Travis Harrison captures the current lineup, with Doug Gillard on guitar, Mark Shue on bass and Kevin March on drums, sounding tight, loud and gloriously unfussy.
Fifteen songs come and go in under 40 minutes, which is exactly how it should be. "(You Can't Go Back To) Oxford Talawanda" is built around a melody Pollard carried with him for years before finally getting it on tape. Elsewhere, "Lucy's World", "A Tribute to Beatle Bob" and "Captain Kangaroo Won the War" show off his knack for titles as vivid as the tunes attached to them.
There is a joy here that only comes from decades of doing this without a safety net, with short, sharp songs that never outstay their welcome.
For longtime fans, it is another worthy chapter. For newcomers, it shows a band still writing like the next great song is always one minute away.
