Chicago’s post-punk band Walking Bicycles have announced their new album ‘Chooch’, which is their first since 2014’s cacophonous ‘To Him That Wills The Way<\/a>‘. ‘To Him That Wills The Way’ was a powerful album that recounted the 3-year prison incarceration of their guitarist Julius Moriarty for possessing a large<\/em> quantity of weed and the subsequent separation from his partner, the bands’ lead singer Jocelyn Summers. ‘Chooch’ <\/em>will be out on April 26th via the bands’ long-running imprint Highwheel Records (Bandcamp pre-order<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To coincide with the announcement, they’re sharing the album’s lead single Fat Cat<\/em>, a ripping cut about the haves vs have nots of the world. Take a listen via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together since 2004, Walking Bicycles are a blend of enigmatic doom pop and declarative lyrics that sound cool without trying to be, the type of music that exists for the sake of expression and enjoyment, drawing apt comparisons to artists like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Clinic, and the bleak psychedelia of early Jane’s Addiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
