If you’ve been watching this space for the past few months, you know that we’re stoked about the upcoming Floor reunion album, Oblation. With Oblation‘s April 29 release date via Season of Mist fast approaching, the band have released a fourth pre-release single from the album (via the AV Club). We touched on the three previous singles “War Party,” “Find Away” and “Sister Sophia.”

Like its three predecessors, “Trick Scene” makes it clear that the new iteration of Floor is effectively a continuation of the sound established on their 2002 self-titled LP and continued briefly on the early recordings by main man Steve Brooks’s other band, Torche. That may bum you out if the uglier sounds of 2004’s Dove are your jam, but I’m digging the new stuff. Stream “Trick Scene” and the other three new Floor singles below and decide for yourself.

As previously mentioned, the band are also going on a North American tour in support of Oblation this May. The tour hits NYC at Saint Vitus on May 5. No supporting acts have been announced yet, but you can buy tickets now.
