Welsh noise rockers mclusky‘s first new album in 20 years, “the world is still here and so are we“, is primed for a May 09th release through Ipecac Recordings. Two new singles from that outing emerged online today, including “unpopular parts of a pig” and “way of the exploding dickhead“. Remy Lamont directed a music video for the latter, which can be found below. Vocalist/guitarist Andrew Falkous also shared his thoughts on that track:
“With a title modeled on/ripped off a formative video game (‘The Way Of The Exploding Fist’ on the ZX Spectrum), and lyrics inspired by the huge excitement caused by the surge pricing on tickets to see a band play well in the distance, ‘way of the exploding dickhead’ is a modern parable, without the parable bit.”

01 – “unpopular parts of a pig”
