Low have announced their follow-up to 2013′s The Invisible Way. Ones and Sixes is out September 11 via Sub Pop. It was recorded at Justin Vernon’s April Base Studios in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Check out the album track “No Comprende” below.

The band has also announced a series of tour dates—find those below the song, album artwork, and tracklist.

Alan Sparhawk said of the album:

BJ [Burton] contacted us a few years ago and invited us out to the studio where he works with Justin [Vernon], Lizzo, and other artists. The studio is close to our home in Duluth, so it seemed tempting. Months later, I worked with BJ, producing the recent record by Trampled by Turtles. We got along and seemed to have similar curiosity about the possibilities for Low, so time was booked and songs finished. We tracked under the soft glow of laser discs playing lost classics like Point Break and Speed. Glenn Kotche from Wilco was there one day working on another record, so we had him in to play hand-percussion on a couple songs. Working 2 or 3 days at a time, leaving it with BJ, then back again for more, we don’t have the time or money to second-guess or pick from a pool of possibilities. This is the whole thought—the untamed truth. This is now. This is everything.
