Surfer Blood have signed to Joyful Noise to release the followup to 2013's Pythons, which is called 1000 Palms. The album is out May 12. Hear the first track, "The Grand Inquisitor", below.

"The Grand Inquisitor" was quietly released to Joyful Noise VIP Members on 541 "Lathe-Cut CDs”, which double as 5" records that will play both on a turntable and a computer. (Find an instructional video on how to play it here.)
