The "classic" Guided By Voices line-up have been touring a bit recently (playing one European show), but now the band will release their first album in this guise since 1996's Under The Bushes, Under The Stars. The new one's called Let's Go Eat The Factory and will be released early in the New Year (via StereoGum).

Here's the tracklist for the album:

1. Laundry And Lasers
2. The Head
3. Doughnut For A Snowman
4. Spiderfighter
5. Hang Mr. Kite
6. God Loves Us
7. The Unsinkable Fats Domino
8. Who Invented The Sun
9. The Big Hat And Toy Show
10. Imperial Racehorsing
11. How I Met My Mother
12. Wave
13. My Europa
14. Chocolate Boy
15. The Things That Never Need
16. Either Nelson
17. Cyclone Utilities (Remember Your Birthday)
18. Old Bones
19. Go Rolling Home
20. The Room Taking Shape
21. We Won’t Apologize For The Human Race

Hopefully a UK release date won't be too far behind. And who knows, maybe even some shows over here? Please, Robert?
