Ceremony

Ceremony have pretty much never made the same album twice, and as the early singles for their upcoming The L-Shaped Man hinted, this new one is no different. It has the band diving pretty deep into Joy Division territory, a pretty far cry from its garage punk predecessor Zoo, and an even further cry from their powerviolence roots. Hear it for yourself in full below (via KEXP).

As previously mentioned, the band also have a tour coming up, which includes a leg with Pity Sex, Tony Molina and Uniform. That great quadruple bill hits NYC on July 1 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets are still available.

They added some new dates too (nothing in NYC). All are listed, with the album stream and the video for one of its tracks, below…
