Angular L.A. punks Flat Worms — guitarist Will Ivy, drummer Justin Sullivan (Kevin Morby) and bassist Tim Hellman (OSEES) — have announced new album Witness Marks, which will be out September 22 via Ty Segall‘s Drag City GOD? imprint. This is their first album since 2020’s Steve Albini-recorded Antarctica, and this new one had them working with Segall at his Harmonizer studio.
The first single from the album is snarling ripper “Time Warp in Exile” about which Will Ivy says, “Given the opportunity to live in harmony, human nature takes over to corrupt. Jealousy and greed cannot be tamed; the relatable fate of Cain and Abel.” Watch the video below.
Flat Worms will be on tour in Europe this fall, and also have a couple of L.A. hometown shows. All dates are listed below.
