what's your over/under on guided by voices releases for 2020?

Hahaha.  I was going to post the same thing.  I'll say three unless Bob decides to take a day off. 

 

I'm most looking forward to the new Drive-By Truckers album.

Yeah do you have any dirt on the Walkman?? By far I think they were my favorite band to emerge after 2000. Would be super psyched if they did anything!!! Also, always up for more parquet courts!

No dirt.  Just wishful thinking.  A Hamilton Leithauser record and/or some more solo releases from other members would suffice.

Andy Shauf and Destroyer are the most anticipated for stuff that's been announced already. 

Though I suspect we could see new albums from:

The War On Drugs

Benjamin Booker 

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile

Father John Misty

Rolling Blackouts CF

Sufjan Stevens (2005: Illinois, 2010: The Age of Adz, 2015: Carrie & Lowell, 2020: ???)

King Tuff

Jason Isbell

Waxahatchee

Wilco

and of course... Ty Segall

 

Long shots but I'm a dreamer:

Bob Dylan

Sloan

The one thing I'd REALLY like to see is the (as yet uncompleted) final Soundgarden studio album

 

They were working on one at the time of Chris' passing, they have enough material for a record. Kim, Ben and Matt all want to do this. The thing that's missing for completion are the files for Chris' vocals - I believe they are still held by his estate (Vicky). 

 

Kim did an interview with Eddie Trunk earlier this week and he's pretty positive this will all be worked out and that an album will happen. So I hope it's sooner than later.

I might be a bit of a hoser sometimes.

 

You think they'll do another one together or do you mean two separate solo albums? (I'm up for either!)

They both spent 2019 touring for their 2018 records, so I feel like we won't get solo albums from them til 2021, but maybe if we're lucky we'll get another collab album. Kurt made a joke recently on Janet Weiss' Instagram about his "side project" so maybe he was hinting at activity. Or maybe I'm grasping at straws.
