THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Nowhere To Go But Up is Guided By Voices’ third album of 2023 (and 39th overall) and is a sprawling, wild adventure — even for these guys.
With virtually no choruses and just two repeated lyrics in 40 minutes, Nowhere To Go But Up captures Robert Pollard at his most audacious and unafraid. Is it one of the most fully realized works that Guided By Voices has created? That’s for future generations to debate. But you can be sure of this: Nowhere To Go But Up showcases an expert rock band at the top of their game, on a roll and unstoppable. Following their monumental 40th Anniversary Celebration in Dayton, GBV begin their fifth decade with a bang!”
