December 11 street date / January 22 for LP (date change). "Styles We Paid For" is Guided By Voices' third album of 2020 and it stands as a testament to this "year in isolation", reflecting these dark days through Robert Pollard's prism, with the band sounding as confident and authoritative as ever. Pollard's searing vocals hold center stage, with endless melodic invention and impeccable phrasing. The album is notably heavy in its worldliness, lyrical content, texture, and approach - and rides out like a cinematic journey of the bizarro world one finds oneself in. While other bands have been napping, GBV have achieved their second consecutive hat-trick (three albums per annum), and have further cemented their status as rock legends for achieving more in this bleak year then most bands do across their entire careers.
