As previously reported, Brooklyn noise-rock crew Black Dice will return with their sixth LP, Mr. Impossible, on April 10th via Ribbon Music. We’ve already heard one cut in “Pigs”, now we have another slice of chaos with “Pinball Wizard”. Not to be confused with The Who’s past radio staple, this track, which opens the album, buzzes by with looping percussion, digital-sounding guitar fuzz, and some mechanical vocals. Check it out below.
To support the release, the group will perform a record release gig in Brooklyn, NY on April 7th, then hit the road throughout most of May in what’s being billed as the Electronic Mind Monsters Reader 2012 Tour. Consult the full itinerary below, shortly following the album’s tracklist.
