Fucked Up announce ‘Year of the Monkey’ ft. Dan Bejar, Keith Morris, Walter Schreifels, more, share 2 tracks

Fucked Up have announced the latest entry in their Zodiac series. Grass Can Move Stones Part 2: Year of the Monkey is due out June 6 via the band’s own Hidden World label. It follows December’s Year of the Goat, which was the first installment of the 10-part finale of the whole series. There’s a full story, and here’s a synposis:

Grass Can Move Stones tells the story of Monkey and Good Goat, two young friends who embark on a journey of self-discovery, encountering gods, magical creatures, and dangers along the way, loosely following the narrative of the fundamental Journey To The West, written in the 16th century by Wu Cheng’en. The story also charts the career of the band, whose search for a musical home has led them through a varied and complex discography over the past twenty-five years.

Damian Abraham continues to voice the Monkey, and Tuka Mohammed is the Good Goat. They have a whole bunch of guests joining them, including John Brannon (Negative Approach, Laughing Hyenas), Carson McHone (The Outfit), Walter Schreifels (Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits, Youth Of Today), Dan Bejar (Destroyer), Keith Morris (Circle Jerks, Off!), Jacob Bannon (Converge), Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles), Chris Colohon (Left For Dead, Cursed), Leigh Arthur (Extravision, Sissy), and Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says).

The first two tracks, which together comprise nearly an hour of music, are out now, and each is a genre-transcending experience with ambitious aims and epic payoff. Listen below.

Fucked Up have shows lined up in Canada and the UK over the next couple of months. See all dates below.
