Fucked Up Sign With Matador

Fucked Up have signed with the rather excellent Matador label and the news doesn't just end there - a second album will be released in October.


Entitled 'The Chemistry Of Common Life', the CD will hold 11 tracks while collectors of vinyl can enjoy 12 songs on the double 12".


Guitarist 10,000 Marbles says the record is "basically about rebirth and the Sun. And lightning."


Matador meanwhile, also add that 'The Chemistry Of Life' as being "incredibly dense, featuring 10-15 guitar tracks on many songs, along with flutes, organs, and French horn, with an elegant clarity and sense of purpose."
