PREMIERE: Arbor Labor Union Announce New LP and Drop "Radiant Mountain Road"

The Georgia band return with a new LP, out on Sup Pop, and a sexily insouciant new raaawwwwk song.

Georgia band, Arbor Labor Union used to be an outfit called Pinecones, and the last time

we wrote about them

was at the top of 2015 to trumpet their name change and write about the driving racket that is "Cosmosis," (which weirdly reminds us a little bit of

Pearl Jam's "Spin the Black Circle"

). They say they were "born from a peach tree" in south Georgia, which sounds perfectly bizarre, but we'll take it. Today we can announce that the band have a new record coming out on Sub Pop Records on May 13th—the follow up to their 2014 debut

Sings for You Now—

and below is the premiere of their new song "Radiant Mountain Road." It's a chugging, ballsy rock squall, with a pinch of psych and a smidge of QOTSA, that'll stomp its way straight into your heart. The bass and drums at the top may make you want to break stuff. This can be a good thing. Elsewhere singer Bo Orr's tone is simultaneously powerful and sexily insouciant.

The band had this to say about the song: a haiku! Of course.

"Your mind is poisoned

Take joy for the antidote

And you will be cured"
