Roughly 3 years after the release of Smalltown Stardust, King Tuff returns with Moo, coming out on March 27 on the new MUP Records.
Kyle Thomas, better known as King Tuff, has five previous full-lengths with Moo being the first release on his new imprint MUP Records, via Thirty Tigers.
The first single is "Twisted on a Train."
“I wrote and recorded the whole dang song in the span of a few hours, which was basically the opposite of how I had been working in the computer. Spending hours moving waveforms around like a zombie, comping vocals, second guessing, trying to make things sound not lifeless, trying to make anything sound good at all, took months. But here on the tape it was so much more alive. More like painting or collaging. More like making actual music. Every move I made stuck like super glue. It was effortless. It was pure joy,” he says in a press release.
A tour is already booked for the spring.
