Spock’s Beard have confirmed their 12th album The Oblivion Particle will be released on August 21 via InsideOut.
The band have also unveiled the artwork for the follow-up to 2013’s Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep.
Bassist Dave Meros reports that while the band’s sound differs from previous outings, there are plenty of references to their previous work.
He says: “I think the opening track Tides Of Time is classic Spock’s in terms of arrangement and style – but everything else is fairly different.
“The whole album is still within the parameters of what people expect to hear from us.”
