Earlier this week (August 15), the Long Island group announced the release of their long-awaited fifth album.


A “very limited” vinyl pre-order quickly sold out, but no details such as tracklisting or album title have been confirmed. A fixed release date wasn’t announced either, with a tweet from the band’s account just stating the pre-orders would ship in October.

Now, fans who purchased a vinyl via the pre-order system have received a one-track, 61-minute long CD in the post.

As Brooklyn Vegan reports, a Reddit user claims the single track is called ‘44.5902N104.7146W’ – the co-ordinates for the Devil’s Tower national monument in Wyoming.

Fans are also claiming the record is called ‘Science Fiction’ and, when playing the tracks for Shazam, it brings up song names like ‘Out Of Mana’, ‘In The Water’, ‘Desert’, ‘451’, and ‘No Control’.
