Maybe Carey Mercer's frustration with artistic censorship at the Olympics made for some rapid artistic inspiration. Or maybe he just felt it was finally time for a new Frog Eyes LP. Whatever the case may be, after a three album-less years, the weirdo Vancouver, BC art rockers have announced their return.
On April 27, Frog Eyes will release their new studio alum, Paul's Tomb: A Triumph, on new label home Dead Oceans.
Here's how the label describes the new record: "This is an album with weight. It's wrapped in a gauze of fuzz, but a fuzz that's neither yesteryear nor painfully now. Paul's Tomb: A Triumph is neither overly modern nor awkwardly vintage, and it contains a depth and bombast that's not only absent in Frog Eyes' previous work, it's absent from most contemporary music.
The album, all of which was recorded live, already has both a cover (see above) and a tracklist to its name (see below). It also has a teaser track, "A Flower in a Glove," which you can download here.
Paul's Tomb: A Triumph:
1. "A Flower in a Glove"
2. "The Sensitive Girls"
3. "Odetta's War"
4. "Rebel Horns"
5. "Lear, in the Park"
6. "Styled by Dr. Roberts"
7. "Lear in Love"
8. "Violent Psalms"
9. "Paul's Tomb"
