Mclusky announce new album, tour dates

Noise-rock lynchpins, mclusky, have announced details of their first album in 20 years.

The long-awaited follow-up to their 2004 release, The Difference Between Me and You Is That I’m Not on Fire, mclusky return with the world is still here and so are we, which is set for release on May 9 via Ipecac Recordings.

Today the band shares the two-song digital single, way of the exploding dickhead and unpopular parts of a pig. You can watch the Remy Lamont directed video for the former below.

Provocative as ever, speaking of the video for way of the exploding dickhead, mclusky vocalist/guitarist, Andrew Falkous says, “With a title modelled on/ripped off a formative video game (‘the way of the exploding fist’ on the ZX spectrum), and lyrics inspired by the huge excitement caused by the surge pricing on tickets to see a band play well in the distance, way of the exploding dickhead is a modern parable, without the parable bit.”

The Bristol-based powerhouse have also announced a string of U.K. and European tour dates for May (full list below).

The world is still here and so are we will be available on multiple limited-edition vinyl variants (marble vinyl and 180 gram black vinyl), an indie store exclusive clear vinyl, and a standard blue vinyl, as well as in CD format.
