Sacred Bones Records will take over the Spectacle movie theater in Brooklyn Thursday (1/26) at 8PM, gathering “an unearthed collection of underground weirdness, …short films, works-in-progress, and a rare screening of the first Sacred Bones film production, Twelve Dark Noons.” The evening will conclude with a “secret feature film screening” and music videos from Gary War, Zola Jesus, Amen Dunes, Moon Duo, Blank Dogs, & Pop. 1280 (whose new LP is out NOW). Check out a video trailer for the evening, as well as a trailer for Twelve Dark Noons (which features music from Naked on the Vague) below.

In related news, The Men have released the title track from their new LP Open Your Heart (out 3/6 via Sacred Bones). Stream that below in full alongside all tour dates which include their 3/7 show at 285 Kent.

Sacred Bones will also welcome the new single from Danish punk band War (not to be confused with Gary War) featuring Iceage’s Elias Bender Rønnenfelt and Sexdrome’s Loke Rahbek. Stream “Brodermordet” at Pitchfork who write:

Recorded to four-track cassette last year, the double A-side 7″ single will include “At War for Youth” and “Kains Mærke”, backed by the scuzzy, beat-oriented “Brodermordet”. The band says the B-side is centered on a Biblical allusion to Cain and Abel’s fratricide (the act of killing one’s brother).

As previously mentioned, Amen Dunes is heading out on tour with This Will Destroy You who separately play a show in NYC at the Kaufman Center on 2/9 (part of the Ecstatic Music Festival). If you want to catch both bands together in the NYC-area, you’re in luck; they’ve since added a 2/11 tour stop at Babbio Atrium in Hoboken, NJ (on Stevens Institute of Technology campus). Amen Dunes will also play 285 Kent on February 23rd with Run DMT. More details on the 285 Kent appearance are forthcoming and all dates are listed below.

Zola Jesus will also head back our way, hitting Webster Hall on 2/18.

All streams, trailers and dates are below.
