Guided by Voices' 44th studio album, Speculation and Gossip, will be released on January 22 through Rockathon Records. The first single from the album is Designed for Use.

The band's previous album, Crawlspace of the Pantheon, was recorded in the studio with the whole group. For the new album, the band members recorded their instruments remotely and separately. Pollard said he wanted the album to have a brighter tone and to be less heavy.

Pollard also opened the largest collage exhibition of the year.
