The New Brand New Album Is So Brand New Right Now

Long Island emo-rockers Brand New have released their first new album for eight years. Science Fiction, the band’s fifth studio LP, just came out via their own Procrastinate! Music Traitors label – in very special edition CD and digital formats, at least.

Check the full album artwork, below.

Head to the P!MT website now and you can pre-order “proper” physical versions of the album, or download the music right now. Fans who pre-ordered the limited-run vinyl edition of Science Fiction received a 61-minute, single-track version of the (12-track) record, the track called 44.5902N104.7146W – the geographical coordinates for the Close Encounters Of The Third Kind-famous Devils Tower butte in Wyoming. Huh, huh. Butte. (It's, like, a big, weird hill. You can make your own out of mashed potato, sure.)

That CD was limited to 500 copies (check Reddit for the evidence). The main releases for the Matt Sapone-produced Science Fiction are of an “indefinite pressing quantity”, however – and can be ordered here. 

The P!MT website also confirms the tracklist for Science Fiction, Brand New’s overdue follow-up to 2009’s Daisy, as follows:

Lit Me Up
Can’t Get It Out
Waste
Same Logic/Teeth
Could Never Be Heaven
137
Out Of Mana
In The Water
