Doughnut For A Snowman

VINYL FORMAT. "Doughnut For A Snowman" is an exclusive single from the brand new Guided By Voices album Let's Go Eat The Factory. The first album of new material in 15 years and featuring the classic Guided By Voices lineup, "Doughnut For A Snowman" is, in Robert Pollard's own words, 'the twinkliest song' he's ever written.

This 7" single features four exclusive B-sides from the 'classic' line up of Robert Pollard, Mitch Mitchell, Kevin Fennell, Tobin Sprout, Greg Demos and Jimmy Pollard at their improv best. After a 15 year hiatus, GBV finishes off its year-long reunion tour by releasing an album of 21 new songs, deliberately choosing to return to what bandleader Robert Pollard calls the "semi-collegial" approach of iconic GBV albums like Bee Thousand and Alien Lanes.

Choosing to eschew the recording studio, Let's Go Eat The Factory was instead manufactured in the living rooms, basements, and garages of various long-time band members. Some tracks were recorded more-or-less live at Mitch Mitchell's garage, where the band would often practice back in the early- and mid-90s. These sessions comprised Mitch, Bob, and Jimmy Pollard, Bob's brother and long-time collaborator, who, though never a part of the touring ensemble, always played a crucial role on the classic-era releases.
