In sticking with their ability to handpick the most boring words possible, Small Black have decided to name their debut album something as equally boring. New Chain is due October 26 via Jagjaguwar, but I’m guessing the album will likely be a lot more awesome than its name lets on. According to their publicist: “Small Black succeeded in melting together locked and popped drum-shudder, gauzy spirographic synths, and subtly contagious, half-remembered melody into ebullient bursts of evocative, subliminal, and thoroughly modern pop.”
New Chain was recorded in suburban Delaware, away from Small Black’s home in Brooklyn, NY. Speaking of Brooklyn, the band’s only tour date right now is at the Monster Island Basement in Brooklyn on September 17.
