Guided by Voices Share 'Serene King' Single Ahead of Newly Announced LP

Guided By Voices (the ever-evolving act led by Robert Pollard) has announced their next LP, Strut of Kings, which is due out on June 28.

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 also shares the record's first single, "Serene King". 

Strut of Kings is the only new Guided By Voices album of 2024! The record includes some of GBV's hookiest nuggets in recent memory. "Serene King" is out now on all DSPs, and stay tuned for Strut of Kings out June 28.

Guided By Voices is touring across the U.S. this summer, with many dates already sold out. Tickets and information can be found HERE.
