Parts & Labor are planning to release their second Jagjaguwar/Brah album on May 22. Titled Mapmaker, the band will continue to build upon what they started with their debut, creating music with an “array of berserk, malfunctioning instruments and intricate, pummeling rhythms.” Think Husker Du meets Sonic Youth meets Amps For Christ. Yeah, we went there. Download the track below and check them out live.
