Truck Violence Announce New Album ‘The weathervane is my body’

Truck Violence have revealed that they have signed to The Flenser (home of the likes of Chat Pile and Agriculture) for their new full-length album.

It’s titled ‘The weathervane is my body’ and will be released on June 26.

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is like this:

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

The band have also offered up a taste of what to expect from the record in the form of ‘New Jesus’, a wonderfully contorted and brilliantly wicked piece of noisy anguish. With flecks of hardcore punishment and lashings of angular alt-rock weirdness, it’s the sort of track that sticks to you like tar and refuses to wash off.

Vocalist/poet Karsyn Henderson had this to say about the track’s sentiments, stating, “’New Jesus’ is a rant about the blatant fascistic slide occurring both to the south of our border and on screen. It is loosely about the ABC—Trump settlement and the post-January 6th election fraud cases. The lack of any broader moral compulsions beyond centralizing power on the political right has led to a culture of post-truth, where there is no reward in accuracy unless it leads to an augmenting of one’s political capital, which it rarely does.” He continues, “This is as destructive in politics as it is in art. There is surprising apathy among young people in regards to this slide, who believe the acquisition of power and the subsequent lording over that occurs, is merely nature, essentially; what will happen, will happen. With these lines of thinking, you find more people sympathetic to this mode, if it is both natural and inevitable, why not acclimate and reap the rewards. Why not join the fascist grift, degenerate art through tiktok, etc…”

The band are set to make their way around Europe over the next few months. Here is where you can lose yourself in their art.
