In 2019 alone, the band released three full-length albums and one EP.&nbsp; Yet this discography only accounts for less than a third of the songwriting output from front man <strong>Robert Pollard<\/strong>,<strong> <\/strong>the band\u2019s sole consistent member and primary creative force, who has written over 1600 songs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now we have the band\u2019s first release of 2020, <strong><em>Surrender Your Poppy Field<\/em><\/strong>.&nbsp; The 15-song album opens with \u201cYear of the Hard Hitter,\u201d which feels like a pastiche of several ideas Pollard and company managed to deftly weave together into a song that takes the listener to several very different places, all fitting together quite nicely.&nbsp; It serves as a taster for what the rest of this album is \u2013 a compilation of songs that will explore varying musical ideas while managing to fit together rather well.&nbsp; The primary difference is that the remaining tracks typically lack the compositional diversity of the opener.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the album, the band commonly ventures into experimental territory, incorporating broader instrumentation and orchestration into many of the tracks.&nbsp; However, once a song has established its primary musical idea, it rarely ventures beyond that.&nbsp; Serving as a prime example, \u201cArthur Has Business Elsewhere,\u201d a highlight of the album because of the horns and strings arrangements (at least for a band typically regraded as lo-fi; this album certainly isn\u2019t changing the sonic landscape of modern music) over a chugging, mid-tempo chord progression.&nbsp; Additionally, \u201cSteely Dodger\u201d sticks to its straightforward, guitar-driven aggressiveness, and \u201cWhoa Nelly\u201d is another track that seems to come out of left field but does not go any further in its sonic exploration then where it starts.&nbsp; An exception to this is the album closer, \u201cNext Sea Level,\u201d which displays a higher degree of songwriting craft.<\/p>\n<p>At times, the subjects and motivations behind the lyrical content seem ambiguous at best.&nbsp; For instance, why is a 62-year-old man declaring \u201ccul-de-sac kids have the best parties\u201d and that he will not rat them out on the aptly named \u201cCul-De-Sac Kids\u201d?* Overall, it seems the important thing on the album is not <em>what<\/em> Pollard is singing about or <em>why<\/em>, but simply the fact that he still is after all these years.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes down to it, a band with the sheer volume of output that Pollard demands is most likely going to have some misfires and half-baked ideas.&nbsp; The album does have some well-crafted and well-executed compositions, but many of the songs feel closer to interludes that could have used some more time gestating in the practice space. &nbsp;Unfortunately, this prevents some of the ideas from sticking with the listener once the track changes.&nbsp; One can\u2019t help but wonder what would happen if, instead of releasing multiple albums per year, Pollard slowed his output down to one album every year or two, using this time to cull his ideas and focus on completing 10 to 12 well-crafted songs.&nbsp; The ideas are there, but the execution is rushed.&nbsp; The work ethic is admirable, but it is possible that the breakneck pace effects the overall quality of the albums.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, the album is still worth a listen for fans or anyone looking for an entry point into a massive discography.&nbsp; The band has had truly great moments throughout their career and remain a satisfying live act, and any music fan would do well to appreciate that.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Surrender Your Poppy Field<\/em> <\/strong>was released on February 20 by the band\u2019s own record label, <strong>Guided by Voices, Inc.<\/strong>&nbsp; Be sure to catch the band<strong> <\/strong>when they stop in at the <strong>Ottobar<\/strong> in <strong>Baltimore, MD<\/strong> on April 3, the <strong>Musikfest Caf\u00e9<\/strong> in <strong>Bethlehem, PA<\/strong> on April 24, or <strong>College Street Music Hall<\/strong> in <strong>New Haven, CT<\/strong> on April 25.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Guided By Voices \u2013 Surrender Your Poppy Field\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" title=\"Guided By Voices \u2013 Surrender Your Poppy Field\" data-id=\"111706\" src=\"\/\/www.dcmusicreview.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/SurrenderYourPoppyField_14001-300x300.jpg\" scale=\"0\" style=\"-webkit-user-select: none;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Guided By Voices<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Surrender Your Poppy Field<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Released:<\/strong> February 20, 2020<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Track Listing:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
