Our Take

In the whimsical world of Guided By Voices, eccentricity reigns supreme. Their latest album, "Sandboxin," is a delightful romp through a musical playground where the boundaries of genre are merely suggestions. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, the band serves up a collection of off-kilter tunes that will have you scratching your head one minute and tapping your foot the next.

Frontman Robert Pollard's distinctive vocals are as charmingly off-key as ever, adding to the album's overall sense of whimsy. From the lo-fi charm of "Sandcastles Made of Starlight" to the infectious hooks of "Bubblegum Bop," Guided By Voices keep listeners on their toes from start to finish.

One of the standout tracks on "Sandboxin" is the psychedelic-tinged "Rainbow Planet." With its swirling guitars and dreamy lyrics, the song transports listeners to a far-off galaxy where the sun always shines and the music never stops.

Overall, "Sandboxin" is a joyful and irreverent ode to the power of music to transcend the ordinary. Guided By Voices may not take themselves too seriously, but their talent and creativity shine through on every track. So grab your bucket and spade, and join them in the sandbox – you won't be disappointed.
