Mclusky have announced their first new album in 20 years.
'The World Is Still Here And So Are We', the long-awaited follow-up to 2004's 'The Difference Between Me And You Is That I’m Not On Fire' will arrive on May 9 via Ipecac.
To coincide with the news, the Welsh post-hardcore veterans have shared a two-song digital single, Way Of The Exploding Dickhead and Unpopular Parts Of A Pig, both of which showcase their aggressive, noise-rock sound. A video for the former, directed by Remy Lamont, can be viewed below. Commenting on the track, frontman Andrew Falkous said:
"With a title modelled on/ripped off a formative video game – the way of the exploding fist on the zx spectrum – and lyrics inspired by the huge excitement caused by the surge pricing on tickets to see a band play well in the distance, way of the exploding dickhead is a modern parable, without the parable bit."
Unpopular Parts Of A Pig was previously shared via Bandcamp in 2023 as part of a release that also featured another track from the record, The Digger You Deep, alongside Fan Learning Difficulties and That Was My Brain On Elves.
Mclusky will support the record with UK and European tour dates, including stops in Wrexham, Manchester, Leeds, London and Bristol. Tickets are on sale now.
