Building on forty years years of GBV history, the majestic and triumphant Strut Of Kings is the forty-first album by indie rock royalty Guided by Voices. Largely recorded in Kings County, New York (Brooklyn), the album is perhaps a gesture towards the malevolent \”kings\” on the world stage. As the \”Serene King\” waltzes across the battlefield, Emperor Pollard evokes castles, King Kong and strutting roosters, a surreal yet regal journey.
