Guided by Voices

Guided by Voices, a pivotal band in the indie rock scene, was experiencing a resurgence around the time of the live recording titled "I Am A Scientist" from Austin, TX. This performance occurred during their 2014 tour when they were promoting their critically acclaimed album "Cool Planet," released in May of that year. The band, known for its lo-fi aesthetic and prolific output, was riding the wave of renewed popularity after reforming their classic lineup in 2010. This particular performance not only showcases their catchy, melodic style but also emphasizes their energetic live presence. "I Am A Scientist," a fan-favorite that originally appeared on their 1995 album "Bee Thousand," reflects the band's ability to connect with audiences through both nostalgia and their continued evolution as artists. The recording serves as a testament to their enduring legacy and the appeal of their back catalog, which they have seamlessly interwoven with new material in their live shows.
