Lithics Announce New LP 'Tower of Age', Share New Single/Video "Hands"

Portland, OR experimental/minimalist/punk band Lithics have announced the release of their third studio album 'Tower of Age'.

The follow -up to 2018's Mating Surfaces, will be released on June 5th via Trouble In Mind Records. Pre-order your copy here.

“Tower of Age” bristles with invention, wedging lyrical Dadaism into right angles of rhythmic minimalism. This is music in ellipses. A circular communication and a fusion of decades worth of musical insight into a singular refraction of thought & sound. Guitars plunk and scratch, and rhythms pulse and syncopate tightly wound around an imagist's philosophy to "use absolutely no word that does not contribute to the presentation." The band's austere approach to composition and wordplay elevates them above and beyond bands seeking similar sounds; it's not that they use less; it's HOW they use less.

The band have also shared the video for the album's lead single "Hands".  Check out both the tracklist and video below.
