Most bands don't like to hear that they "drone on," but we doubt very much the Dead C would mind. The veteran Kiwi noise act has been releasing their low rumblings for nigh on twenty years now, and with their new album Future Artists, they show no signs of slowing down.

Future Artists drops in CD form May 29 from BaDaBing!, with a double-gatefold vinyl edition arriving in late June, complete with a bonus track by the name of "The Prisoners." The new album is the Dead C's first since 2003, and follows BaDaBing!'s 2006 release of the collection Vain, Erudite, and Stupid: Selected Works 1987-2005.

Though no dates have officially been announced yet, we're assured that the Dead C will tour Australia this September.

Future Artists:

01 The AMM of Punk Rock
02 The Magicians
03 Macoute
04 Eternity
05 Garage
06 The Prisoners (vinyl-only bonus track)
