The Jesus Lizard have shared a third single from their forthcoming album Rack

Moto(R) follows Hide & Seek and Alexis Feels Sick as the third taste of the Chicago noise-rock band's first new album in 26 years, set for release on September 13, via Ipecac Recordings, and is described by guitarist Duane Denision as “not Motörhead, and not Radiohead either.”

Rack was recorded last year in Nashville at Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney's Audio Eagle studio. In an interview with The New York Times, bassist David Wm. Sims says that the 11-song collection is “maybe one of our best.”
