Georgia band, Arbor Labor Union used to be an outfit called Pinecones, and the last timewe wrote about themwas at the top of 2015 to trumpet their name change and write about the driving racket that is "Cosmosis," (which weirdly reminds us a little bit ofPearl Jam's "Spin the Black Circle"). They say they were "born from a peach tree" in south Georgia, which sounds perfectly bizarre, but we'll take it. Today we can announce that the band have a new record coming out on Sub Pop Records on May 13th—the follow up to their 2014 debutSings for You Now—and below is the premiere of their new song "Radiant Mountain Road." It's a chugging, ballsy rock squall, with a pinch of psych and a smidge of QOTSA, that'll stomp its way straight into your heart. The bass and drums at the top may make you want to break stuff. This can be a good thing. Elsewhere singer Bo Orr's tone is simultaneously powerful and sexily insouciant.The band had this to say about the song: a haiku! Of course."Your mind is poisonedTake joy for the antidoteAnd you will be cured"Listen below and check the tracklisting.Tracklisting for I Hear You1. Mr. Birdsong2. Hello Transmission3.
