Big Business have announced their fifth album.
Jared Warren and Coady Willis will return with 'The Beast You Are' on April 12 via Joyful Noise Recordings. As with its predecessor, 2016's 'Command Your Weather', the band are back to working as a duo, after expanding to a power quartet in 2010. Speaking about the return to a two-piece, Willis said:
"It's just better. We work faster, and we know what we’re both going for. It gives us more room to be weirder in certain aspects and try different things. It makes sense because that’s how we established ourselves in the beginning and how we learned to write songs together, it was just the two of us. Coming back to that lineup felt natural."
The album's release will be accompanied by a spring North American headline tour, beginning on April 11 in Long Beach and following on from previously announced shows with Clutch.
In the meantime, head below to stream the first cut off the 13-song tracklist, Let Them Grind, which marks their first new music in nearly three years. Warren describes it as "the perfect song for any situation in which a soundtrack for suppressing blood-boiling, ear-ringing anger is needed."
