Thor & Friends, the ensemble group formed by namesake Thor Harris, have announced a new album. The Subversive Nature of Kindness marks the band’s second full-length, following the release of their debut self-titled release last year. It arrives November 17 via Living Music Duplication. Swans’ Michael Gira is set to feature on the new record, providing “wordless vocals;” other guests include Norwegian opera singer Stine Janvin Motland and Oregon-based throat singer Enrique Soriah. According to a press release, “it is hoped the melodic meditations offered up on The Subversive Nature of Kindness will ‘ease some of the terror of living in these uncertain times.’”

Harris formed Thor & Friends following a five-year stint touring as a member of Swans. Earlier this year, he announced his desire to run for governor of Texas, “‘cause fuck this.”
