While John Dwyer is readying his solo LP under the name Damaged Bug, his band Thee Oh Sees have announced their follow-up to 2013's great album Floating Coffin**. Drop is out April 19 (Record Store Day) via Dwyer's Castle Face imprint. That's album opener "Penetrating Eye" below.

According to a press release, the album was recorded in a banana ripening warehouse. It features Chris Woodhouse on drums and contributions from Mikal Cronin, Greer McGettrick, and Casafis. The artwork (above) is by Jonny Negron.

Late last year, it was reported that the band would go on an "indefinite hiatus", which Dwyer called "a well deserved break and a transitional period". He wrote "we will see where the live show goes from there...".
