YHWH Nailgun Announce 11-Minute New Album Magazine

New York experimentalists YHWH Nailgun became one of the buzziest bands in underground rock with last year's debut album 45 Pounds. It recently earned them a record deal with the venerable 4AD, which got many of us thinking a new album might be coming sooner rather than later. That's technically correct, but it might stretch the definition of the world "album."

When YHWH Nailgun were added as surprise performers at New York's C2C Festival a few weeks back, they played an 11-minute set of unreleased material. It turns out that performance likely included the entirety of the group's new album. Magazine, out nine days from now (yes, on a Thursday), comprises 10 tracks totaling 11 minutes of music. That's only 10 minutes fewer than the 21-minute 45 Pounds, but still: pretty short!

Word on the street is they ditched the rototoms at C2C — a significant change considering how much those factored into the last album. For some idea of what Magazine will be like, check out last Friday's episode of The Adam Friedland Show, where the band performed new tracks “Give Blood,” “Ballerina,” and “Hips On A Wheel."
