Guided By Voices have announced a new album called Earth Man Blues, what they’re calling “a collage of rejected songs,” per Rolling Stone. Whatever “rejected songs” means to a band that put out three full-lengths in 2020 and countless albums before that, I don’t exactly know! “I was blown away that I had discarded them,” the band’s mastermind Robert Pollard said in an interview. “Anyway, I combined some of them and created new arrangements. Others I just left the way they were.”

Earth Man Blues is presented as Guided By Voices “in a John H. Morrison Musical Production,” a reference to Pollard’s childhood school John H. Morrison Elementary and the album’s recurring adolescent theme. Today, the band are sharing “Free Agents” from it. Listen below.
