The Icarus Line have announced a new record, due later this summer. Not to be mistaken for a "follow-up" to last year’s excellent Slave Vows the band tell us, this new five-track collection, containing live favourites ‘Junkadelic’ and ‘Salem Slims’, is more like "the other arm getting a shot". Due for release on July 2 through Agitated Records, Avowed Slavery is the companion release to the 2013 record, serving as a "booster pack" for its predecessor.
We’ve long been big fans of the band, with tQ reviewer Stevie Chick calling Slave Vows a "masterpiece". With the new release set to complete "this particular circle of fury", we’re expecting good things, the band assuring us "the fire in the band’s belly is roaring". Watch the band’s website for updates and take a look at the video for Slave Vows‘ ‘City Job’ below:
