Guided By Voices Inc

Guided By Voices is an American alternative rock band that was formed in 1983 in Dayton, Ohio. The band's principal member, Robert Pollard, has been the driving force behind their unique sound and prolific output. With a career spanning several decades, Guided By Voices has become known for their catchy melodies, lo-fi production style, and Pollard's distinctive songwriting. Their music has influenced countless indie rock bands and continues to resonate with fans around the world.
Since their formation, Guided By Voices has released numerous albums and EPs, showcasing their versatility and ability to experiment with different musical styles. Their discography includes beloved albums such as "Bee Thousand" and "Alien Lanes," which are considered classics of the indie rock genre.
With their energetic live performances and dedicated fanbase, Guided By Voices has established themselves as one of the most influential bands in alternative rock history. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, exploring Guided By Voices' extensive catalog is sure to be a rewarding experience.

Propeller was the fifth album by Guided By Voices, and was intended to be the group’s last. Released as a limited edition of 500 LPs in 1992, the album featured handmade covers and blank labels to keep expenses as low as possible. Their other albums hadn’t sold much, why would this one? Robert Pollard had a family to support and his musical aspirations had not exactly been a boon to their bank account.

As fate would have it, the band wound up releasing an album chock full of gems Pollard had stockpiled, and for the first time sounded distinctly like the band that fans have since come to love. Propeller also marks the return of Tobin Sprout to the GBV fold, along with an increased songwriting presence. From anthem-to-be “Over the Neptune” to the effortless melodies of closer “On the Tundra,” Propeller is a hell of a ride, and remains one of the most important albums in the band’s discography.

The vinyl edition has been out of print for a decade, and features different cover art than previous pressings. The CD edition has been out of print for a minute as well, and is now housed in digipak format, also with a new, unique cover from one of the original pressings. And for the first time Propeller is available on cassette.
