Robert Pollard's Guided By Voices never ceased to amaze me, or just about everyone who has heard the records... Bee Thousand was recorded outside of the normal studio environment using 4 track demo's and almost single handed coined the phrase lo-fi , each song took around half an hour to record and in total the whole album took 3 days!
Bee Thousand was influenced by the 4 P's of rock music.... Pop, Punk, Prog and Psychedelia and went on to be the greatest album you've never heard.......dont believe me ? Take a look below or just have a listen for yourself.... i know you wont be disappointed
