It’s a good thing that the Crystal Stilts gave us that September surprise, because we still have a few more months until the New York-based noise pop act drops its sophomore album. According to Prefix Magazine, the Stilts will drop In Love with Oblivion on April 11th in the UK via Fortuna POP! and one day later in the U.S. via Slumberland. Check out the artwork above and the tracklist below; word has it that the album will explore ’60s psych rock ala the 13th Floor Elevators and utilize a larger, more melodic sound than their 2008 debut Alight of Night. As always, stay tuned for more news as it’s announced.
Update: Stream the album’s lead single, “Shake the Shackles”, below.
