Lieutenant marks a milestone in Mendel’s career, showcasing his abilities as main songwriter, vocalist and guitarist for the quintet. Called “an impressive marriage of Sunny Day’s intimate soul-purging and Foos’ powerful guitar heft” (NME.com), ‘If I Kill This Thing We’re All Going To Eat For A Week’ features the tracks Rattled, Belle Epoque, and Believe The Squalor.

Lieutenant will be performing shows later this month with a live lineup that will include Christian Wargo (Fleet Foxes) on bass, Paul “Pablo” Wilson (Snow Patrol) on guitar, Jesse Wood (The Naked and Famous) on drums and the record’s producer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Helmet) on keys. Tickets are on sale now.
