L.A. art-punk duo No Age have announced plans for a new record landing later this year. Their fifth studio album Goons Be Gone arrives June 5 via Drag City.
Randy Randall and Dean Spunt have also shared a new single titled "Turned to String" from the forthcoming effort. According to the press release, it's a song that "comes out swinging with crisp rhythm riffs setting the cruise control to FAST; a tempo that Dean and Randy do what they can to slow down with internal rhythms and orchestrally billowing guitar harmonics — yet they never actually break stride."
Hear "Turned to String" below.
According to a press release, the new record promises to be "so cacophonous, so fertile, and so ripe with sound that parsing out the samples and effects and various layers of guitar is nearly impossible; besides, it's way more satisfying to just close your eyes and just enjoy it."
Goons Be Gone follows No Age's 2018 record Snares Like a Haircut.
