Alien Nosejob, the one-man project of Jake Robertson, is heading to the US on a brief tour in tandem with a set at Gonerfest.

The Australian musician shared a new single called "Split Personality" along with the tour dates, both of which we've shared below too.

The new single preludes a new record, which will be called The Derivative Sounds of… or… A Dog Always Returns to its Vomit, the sixth full-length from the Alien Nosejob moniker, set to release via Anti Fade Records (AU) and Goner Records (US) on Oct. 27 and is billed as a return to Robertson's jangly garage rock roots.

HC2
Iron Lung (2021)

It seems that Jake Robertson spent a lot of the past year playing with himself. But haven’t we all?
