Welsh post-hardcore/noise rock outfit mclusky will release a new mini-album titled i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley on March 20th via Ipecac Recordings. A vinyl pressing will follow on May 1st.
Pre-order i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley here.
The release comes on the heels of last year’s comeback full-length the world is still here and so are we, which marked the band’s first new album in roughly two decades. As a preview the group have shared a music video for the album’s lead single “i know computer”.
Vocalist Andrew Falkous shared the following:
content. It drives the modern music world. photos. opinions. more photos. more opinions (please note – not all photo and are options are bad, just 99 percent of them). how about – and indulge me here – music? that content-y enough for you? fact is we can’t stop writing, at least at the moment. it’s fun (that’s all it needs to be). it’s the common denominator of band. only death will slow us down (note – it won’t stop us).
the idea for this release starts as a bit of a stop-gap – a thing with which to help promote the north american tour – and ended up as something else entirely. ‘i know computer’ and ‘as a dad’ are new and are singles (they may make the next album, who can say, it’s already half-recorded and you will like it). damien probably likes ‘I am computer’ a bit too much but that’s okay, the heart wants what the heart wants.
‘spock culture’ and ‘hi! we’re on strike’ were recorded during the the world is still here… why didn’t they make the album? I’m not sure. Lyrically they are important historical documents. Up there with the ‘pusheen the cat’ books and/or the u.s. constitution.
‘fan learning difficulties’ and ‘that was my brain on elves’ have only had a digital release before and are, to quote british children from forty years ago, ‘skill.’ hopefully you can agree that i, and by osmosis, all of us – have read a lot of books.
i sure am getting sick of this bowling alley track listing:
1. i know computer
2. as a dad
3. spock culture
4. hi! we’re on strike
5. fan learning difficulties
6. that was my brain on elves
