Fucked Up Announce New Album ‘Year Of The Horse’

Long-running Canadian hardcore punk collective Fucked Up will unleash their new album Year Of The Horse, the next in their ongoing series celebrating the Chinese zodiac, the album will be available on limited-edition vinyl this Summer via Tankcrimes. Year Of The Horse, is the follow-up to 2018’s critically lauded Dose Your Dreams full-length, Fucked Up’s hugely ambitious new album is operatic in scope and artfully assembled offering up one track with a ninety-plus-minute runtime. The epic tone poem is spread across four sides that pass through the realms of metal, classical, ‘70s groove and international hardcore punk to explore themes of motherhood, ecology, stewardship and the deep myths of our civilization.  

Year Of The Horse was recorded over the past few years by Alex Gamble in Toronto, who worked with the band on Dose Your Dreams, and mastered by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound. Year Of The Horse includes guest appearances by Matt Berninger (The National), Julien Baker, Maegan Brooks Mills (Chubby And The Gang) and Tuka Mohammed and is dedicated to Power Trip’s Riley Gale and Iron Age’s Wade Allison, who passed away within weeks of each other last year. Fucked Up’s Year Of The Horse will be released on limited double vinyl and double CD as well as an edited version on one-sided, five-inch vinyl via Tankcrimes this August
