Well and truly putting to bed the myth that all the good band names in the world have been taken, ********** (apparently pronounced as “The Drink”) have announced their first and final album.
Just as art-school-clever as their name, the band’s debut/farewell album is a self-titled affair (i.e. ********** in case you’re not following) and features twelve tracks that the group already released on YouTube and “presents a series of theatrically characterized scenarios; universal summaries of the day-to-day; habitual and excessive; promising and disparaging.”
“And what exactly does THAT sound like?” I hear you wondering in oblique, non-english whatchimacallits. Well, the lead single “Kinderpunsch” is totally up and available to be listened to down below. So, ********** YOU for asking!
Even more good (read: tangible) news: **********’s album will be available in the very non-metaphysical vinyl format (in very limited quantities which will be scattered into existence via Domino imprint Weird World records) on January 26 and can be pre-ordered now.
Or can it???
