Lou Barlow’s last Sebadoh album was the 2013 LP Defend Yourself. Today, the band has announced a new record. Act Surprised is out May 24 via Dangerbird/Fire. Below, check out the album track “celebrate the void.”
“The first line of this song: ‘I get the feeling you don’t feel me’ is pretty good,” Barlow said in a statement. “It could be a line in an Ariana Grande song, I like it. I followed it from there through some general complains about a composite character in my life, someone I could never crack.” See the Act Surprised tracklist and album art below.
Sebadoh’s Defend Yourself arrived 14 years after 1999’s The Sebadoh. Following the last Sebadoh album, Barlow released a string of solo music, including the 2015 album Brace the Wave and the 2016 EP Apocalypse Fetish. Dinosaur Jr.’s last album was 2016’s Give a Glimpse of What Yer Not.
