Sumac (Members of Isis and Russian Circles) Announce What One Becomes, Share “Rigid Man”

Aaron Turner (of Isis, Old Man Gloom, and Mamiffer), Brian Cook (of Russian Circles), and Nick Yacyshyn (of Baptists) are Sumac. The trio’s new album What One Becomes is the follow-up to last year’s The Deal. It’s out June 10 via Thrill Jockey. Listen to “Rigid Man” below.

 Turner said of the album in a statement:

“Much of it has to do with questioning fabricated structures of identity and what it means when those structures are destabilized by contact with the outside. That has been a unnerving process to undergo, but also fruitful in terms of discovering the path to individuation and realized connection with the self. Another facet of experience I’m working to convey is about living with the sustained presence of anxiety, and avoiding reliance on musical devices of cathartic release to provide escape from this condition.”

What One Becomes:

01 Image of Control
02 Rigid Man
03 Clutch of Oblivion
