the Jesus Lizard release their new album Rack on September 13th via Ipecac Recordings. Ahead of the LP’s arrival, the band have shared “Moto(R).” Duane Denison says of the track, which comes with a Jon Tucker-directed video that features recent live footage of the foursome: “It’s not Motörhead, and it’s not Radiohead either…”

The song follows previous single “Hide & Seek,” which was described by Yow as “a perky ditty about a witch who can’t behave, and it’s got nearly as many hooks as a Mike Tyson fight,” and “Alexis Feels Sick,” a song inspired by Girls Against Boys/Soulside drummer Alexis Fleisig’s guarded opinion of modern life.

the Jesus Lizard reconvened in 2009 for a limited number of shows and have maintained their bond both as friends in close contact with one another, and touring bandmates. “We literally only made the record because we thought it would be fun to make the record,” says Sims. With McNeilly highlighting the strong relationship amongst the musicians: “We are bonded by the music we make, and also by the respect we have for each other.”
