Guided By Voices classic '90s line-up will release an album of new material in January 2012.

The cult, low-fi heroes - Robert Pollard, Tobin Sprout, Greg Demos, Mitch Mitchell and Kevin Fennell - have returned to the studio to record Let's Go Eat The Factory. It will be this line-up's first new LP since 1996's fan favourite Under The Bushes, Under The Stars. The band have just completed a year-long reunion tour.

Let's Go Eat The Factory will be released on January 1, 2012.

Here's the modest (by GBV standards at any rate) 21-strong track list:

Laundry And Lasers

The Head

Doughnut For A Snowman

Spiderfighter

Hang Mr. Kite

God Loves Us

The Unsinkable Fats Domino

Who Invented The Sun

The Big Hat And Toy Show

Imperial Racehorsing

How I Met My Mother

Waves

My Europa

Chocolate Boy

The Things That Never Need

Either Nelson

Cyclone Utilities (Remember Your Birthday)

Old Bones

Go Rolling Home

The Room Taking Shape

We Won't Apologize For The Human Race

Yes, there are a few Toby songs on the upcoming album. Not exactly sure how many, but I think 3 or 4.

 

Also, there's a GbV album out in May called Class Clown Spots a UFO comprised of rare, previously recorded GbV tunes, whereas Let's Go Eat the Factory is all new songs.

Seems to be news that this lineup has broken up???!? Cancelled all of their 2012 appearances.

 

12/7/11 Unfortunately, Guided By Voices are canceling their appearances at Primavera and ATP/I'll Be Your Mirror, due to personal reasons. The band apologizes for any inconvenience and disappointment, and thanks Primavera, ATP and the fans for their longterm support.

 

This is a major bummer!

And just like that, this was posted on Pollard's Facebook:

 

Guided by Voices have not split up and continue to work on new material together. In addition to the album release of Let's Go Eat the Factory for January, the band are at work on another album, Class Clown Spots A UFO, which will be released in May. Robert Pollard will also be releasing a solo album, Mouseman Cloud in March.
