Good news, Brian Jonestown Massacre fans: the band has finished recording its 13th album, the curiously titled 'Aufheben,' and they're getting ready to celebrate its May 1 release with a long run of live dates that will take them all over the world.

 

The new album's title is a German word that can mean a few things, including (according to Wikipedia) "abolish," "preserve," and "transcend." Those seemingly contradictory definitions fit pretty well with the band's genre-mashing music, which has been known to irreverently sample everything from electronica and shoegaze to glam and psychedelic rock. You can stream one song from the record, titled 'I Wanna Hold Your Other Hand,' below. The complete track listing is as follows:
