Deerhunter Announce New Album Fading Frontier, Share “Snakeskin”

The countdown is over, and Deerhunter have announced a new album. Fading Frontier, the follow-up to 2013′s Monomania, is out October 16 via 4AD. Watch the trippy clip for “Snakeskin” below, along with the tracklisting as seen on iTunes and the band’s upcoming tour dates (including Pitchfork Music Festival Paris). Update (8/17 4:06 a.m.): The album was produced by the band and Ben H. Allen III, and features members of Broadcast and Stereolab, according to a press release. (Check the detailed tracklist below.) The song “Breaker”, a duet between Bradford Cox and Lockett Pundt, is a first for the band.

In December of 2014, Cox was hospitalized after being hit by a car. In the time since, Deerhunter’s Moses Archuleta released a casette for Geographic North‘s Sketch for Winter cassette series called Care Package. Fading Frontier is Cox and the band’s first release since the accident.
