My introduction to these dudes was last year's What Is?!, so I'm pretty psyched to hear some of this older stuff, which will be available in the U.S. for the first time on this release. Also, like Weiss says, throw this in the race for album art of the year. Here are a couple jams from the LP:
Word is these guys are even better live, which we will hopefully confirm on July 6 in Austin at America's best bar. Check all their summer tour dates here.
