Chondromalacia Patella is the latest advance track from the experimental rock band's upcoming second LP, 'Cavalcade', due out on May 28 via Rough Trade.
Following the already shared Slow, Despair, and John L, the song rolls out across changing time signatures, with high-pitched horn blasts, circular drums, low-slung guitar lines and haunting vocals from Geordie Greep. It's named after a running-related knee injury sustained by one of the band's members.
In addition to the new cut, the group have unveiled details of a YouTube livestream show on May 26 at 2pm ET/7pm BST, where they'll perform music from the record ahead of its official release. Head below for more details.
They'll support the album with UK and European gigs in August, September, November and December, as well as a run of US shows in October. Tickets are on sale now.
