Pitchfork

Even though their debut, The Language of Cities, came out in 2002, Maserati's new album is only the second proper full-length release from the Athens, Georgia instrumental quartet. The sophomore record is called Inventions for the New Season, and it comes out June 19 on Temporary Residence Ltd.

Maserati have replaced Phil Horan with Gerhardt Fuchs (!!!, LCD Soundsystem, the Juan Maclean) on drums, and longtime friend-of-the-band Andy Baker produced Inventions at his home studio in Athens.

Inventions will come in CD and gatefold double LP formats. The LP will have more extensive artwork than the CD, and the first 1,000 copies of the LP will come on transparent, red-and-white splattered vinyl.

Maserati race out on a U.S. tour in support of the album tonight (May 25) in Louisville. Their first handful of shows is in support of !!!, which means Fuchs will be on double drum duty.

Finally, Maserati are already planning an Australian tour for November.
