Guided by Voices’ last album Thick Rich And Delicious (October 2025) was praised by NPR’s All Things Considered and ranked #1 on Magnet Magazine’s Best Albums of 2025 list. The single “We Outlast Them All” from their latest release Crawlspace Of The Pantheon serves as an anthemic victory lap on album #44 from the indie rock veterans. Robert Pollard told Rolling Stone: “ 'We Outlast Them All' could be our 'We Are The Champions' but it's not necessarily about us. It's about anyone who perseveres over a long period of time.” On Crawlspace Of The Pantheon: “I worked much more diligently on this set of lyrics. I chiseled away at lines and sections and phrasings... I wanted them to have an overall emotionally conceptual feel. At times it feels somewhat autobiographical.”
