After announcing a new EP and tour dates, Lightning Bolt went back into their hole and left us without any more information. Almost two months after that announcement, however, this noise rock duo has released the album artwork, tracklist and the first track to the new record.
Titled “King Candy,” Lightning Bolt’s latest track sounds like a hybrid between them and Brian Chippendale’s side project, Black Pus. Check out the track below as well as the tracklist and tour dates which began yesterday in Washington, D.C.
