Noisy Canadian band Truck Violence just announced the release of their second album, which has the lengthy title of The weathervane is my body. It will release on June 26 on The Flenser.

The band, now based in Montréal, has shades of Chat Pile and it's a notable (perhaps coincidence) that they also began in an agricultural area (Alberta).

Rather than share a bunch of relevant but not-quite-on-point genre references, here's a single from the new record ("New Jesus"). Make your own judgments and RIYLs.

The weathervane is my body track list:

  1. My dog would fuck the air
  2. Jaundiced and reaching for a mother
  3. Compelled by Christy
  4. House caught fire
  5. New Jesus
  6. Your name, It's walking
  7. Stomach as a tower and the globules descending
  8. Gerard, be quiet
  9. Kindly, wash yourself
