Speedy Ortiz have announced the follow-up to 2013 debut Major Arcana. It’s called Foil Deer, and it’s out this April. In an interview with Spin, Sadie Dupuis said the title “comes from a sculpture I saw in a museum a while ago. I wrote it in a notebook. I liked the image of it, and it wound up in a lyric of a song.” She added that this will be the band’s first album with guitarist Devin McKnight after previous guitarist Matt Robidoux went on an indefinite hiatus from the band last May: “We haven’t really talked to [Robidoux] since then, but he’s doing his own thing in a couple of projects.” Speedy spent three weeks recording Foil Deer compared to just four days on Major Arcana, and they quit their day jobs this time around.

UPDATE:

Speedy Ortiz have shared the album artwork and tracklist for Foil Deer — in a brief Pitchfork article, Dupuis commented on the refreshed state-of-mind that inspired her songwriting:

I gave up wasting mental energy on people who didn’t have my back,” frontwoman Sadie Dupuis says in press release. “Listening to our old records, I get the sense that I was putting myself in horrible situations just to write sad songs. The music isn’t coming from a dark place, and without slipping into self-empowerment jargon, it feels stronger.
