Lung announce 'The Swankeeper' - out May 30

Lung, Cincinnati’s loudest duo involving a cello, comes roaring out of the Ohio River Valley again with their fourth studio album The Swankeeper out on May 30. A pathos inducing blast of noise and melody, the record captures the mixture of terror and beauty that has become our new normal in a profound way. We’ve also got a couple exciting shows at the shop in May with Taakat (members of Mdou Moctar) gracing our stage, joined by Gentle Leader XIV (celebrating the release of Joke In the Shadow) and the Drin (celebrating being the Drin) on the 11th. To put the perfect end cap on the month, post-punk enchantress Kilynn Lunsford will cast her spell upon us May 30th with Pet Mosquito and Black Surfboards. (Oh...and that uh lil' 1 year anniversary show is Thursday this week at the shop.)

Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Lung consists of Kate Wakefield, a classically trained opera singer and cellist, and former Foxy Shazam bassist Daisy Caplan on drums. Fierce, ethereal, and heavy as hell, Lung plays with the intensity of early grunge layered with sinister undertones. Described as "loud, dissonant, innovative, and fearless" (Fair Shakes and Just Dessert), Wakefield runs her cello through distortion pedals and big amps, while Caplan pounds out earthquaking beats on epic horn-shaped vintage drums. A relentless touring machine since 2016, Lung has played over 800 shows across North America and Europe, sharing bills with The Jesus Lizard, Dead Bob (ex NoMeansNo), Brainiac, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Guided By Voices, Screaming Females, Big Business, Chat Pile and so many more. The band’s fourth studio album, The Swankeeper, sees them continue to develop and expand their genre defying sound.
