Alien Lanes | 25th Anniversary Edition

Matador Records is proud to announce the release of a 25th Anniversary vinyl edition of Guided By Voices' 1995 album Alien Lanes. Inspired by the multicoloured drumhead featured on the album's artwork, this new edition is pressed on blue, green and red multicolored vinyl making it the first non-exclusive color vinyl edition of this release. Originally released on April 4, 1995, Alien Lanes served as the first Guided by Voices album to be released on Matador Records. With 28 tracks spanning the course of 41 minutes, the album would fundamentally alter the concept of what a rock and roll record could be. Bursting at the seams with classic rock bravado and tape-warped ballads, Alien Lanes dips and dives between genres and moods with breakneck efficiency and a remarkable amount of intellect and emotion bolstered by the abstract poetry of songwriter and front-man Bob Pollard.
