Parts & Labor, have released “Haunted Limbs.” The single is off the Brooklyn band’s forthcoming album Set Of All Sets available July 10 via Ernest Jenning Record Co. Parts & Labor has also announced tour dates in Los Angeles, San Francisco and NYC with an expanded 6-piece lineup.

From Dan Friel: “Expanding on the album’s theme of Utopia, ‘Haunted Limbs;’ blurs the line between the challenges of building a better world and some straightforward shit about restarting a band after 15 years. The lyric ‘It haunts us like a limb we haven’t grown yet” pretty much sums it all up. The song comes out sounding more like vintage Parts & Labor than a lot of the record, but pushes things forward in a way that is impossible to miss from the minute you press play.”

Parts & Labor co-founders Dan Friel and BJ Warshaw are joined by drummers Christopher Weingarten and Joe Wong, members during their four-album released on Jagjaguwar.

The LP’s lead track “Endless Cycle” is the album’s maximalist scaffolding: a four-part, 20-minute epic split across the album’s halves. The three-part “Descending” suite exploits the Shepard tone illusion to dizzying ends. The chord progression is constantly falling, never resolves and is designed to loop infinitely. The feeling of moving while staying in the same place conveys the feeling of our current social and political reality: sinking deeper into the mire of techno-fascism but made to believe that we’re progressing to some grand, utopian future. The album’s epic climax is a shout-along that’s equal parts catchy and contradictory: “Forever … For never.”

“If some certain quantum theories are true, everything that might exist, does exist through parallel universes. Grappling with that feels simultaneously full of promise and struck with grief, that anything is possible, but also that this is the universe we’re stuck with,” says Warshaw “We wanted to turn towards promise, to build this thing against so, so many odds. To fight against our own inertia and fraying hope.”

The band played shows across the U.S., Europe and Japan, playing shows with Mission of Burma, The Fall, TV on the Radio, Deerhoof, Battles, Melt-Banana, Lightning Bolt, Titus Andronicus, Oneida and many more. Their final bow, held at Brooklyn’s 285 Kent in February of 2012, was a cacophonic send-off that united Weingarten and Wong on one stage and ended with the audience tearing the stage to pieces.

During the following 14 years, Dan Friel has released eight albums for Thrill Jockey: four toy-keyboard scuzz-pop solo excursions and four LPs with Upper Wilds. Joe Wong has become an in-demand film and TV composer, penning the music for Emmy-winning shows like Russian Doll and Master of None alongside releasing a pair of psychedelic pop solo outings. BJ Warshaw has been co-running artist retreat, LEVEL, in a former Boy Scout cabin in Chapel Hill, NC since 2016. Christopher Weingarten has maintained a career as a music writer and recently launched the all-star “artisanal white noise” app Fuzzzel.

“It felt like all the things we were worried about back in the day – techno-fascism, authoritarianism, rapacious capitalism, societal division – were coming true if not getting worse,” says Warshaw. “Reuniting has been a lifeline. The doing is the antidote.”
