[el gep]

All of you made me want to hear this!

And... yes, the cover is so beautiful.

[GiveMe45]

I've got to say, that photo for the cover art is really great! One of the best record covers i've seen for a while.

Looks like Jane Doe underwater

Will be purchasing!

First proper Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends album in 5 years again featuring Dale Crover on drums, 'The Way of the Neutron' is up for pre-order and will be released on March 20.

https://neutronfriends.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-of-the-neutron

From the email:

"The Way of the Neutron: Mini-anthems for overwhelming and far too interesting times, defiant fight songs for those counted out or not counted at all. Still here. Still operating.
The first dedicated full length album in 5 years. Blending heavy riffs, huge hooks and harmony with relentless abandon. The Way of the Neutron tells the story of an ethos, a life of uncompromising music and the perseverance of the creative good fight in spite of overwhelming content and stimuli.

Pre-order now to get WHO DARES?
"Who Dares? Is a mission statement song. Most attributable to something a super villain would scream as a hero enters the room, this is a song about not just surviving but thriving often against insurmountable odds. One challenge at a time, one step at a time, one punch at time, one round at a time. Featuring a simple guitar hook and a relentless menacing main riff, it is a motivational soundtrack to dogged persistence. Who Dares? I'm the one who dares."

More singles coming soon!"

hey!
That's true. I actually came back to the forum to post the same.
Crover actually does more back up vocals on this one than any other Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends record... confidentially: It is my favorite!
We very quietly put a faster one up to stream on bandcamp too. "Chekhov's Grift"

Also Who Dares? is up on spotify and apple music (allegedly) and youtube and all the other stuff.
Sharks Keep Moving goes up this week on bandcamp, and next week for other stuff.
Whole thing will be up to stream at the end of the month... just in time for us to do this:



We also have a 4 date mini tour with Mr. Phylzzz at the end of the month.
If you have a few bucks rattling around that granmama gave ya, deeply appreciated to drop some of it on LP (there's a postcard set option!), CD or digital.

[amazonAMAZON]

Oh that's cool. I haven't picked up the split yet, either, so maybe I can order both CDs.

[conanneutron]

yeah! Adult Prom has some real bangers on it (if I do say so myself).
Super surreal to hear Lung do one of ours in their very specific and cool style and a blast to do one of theirs.

We should probably make a 2 cd bundle or something since it's a little less brutal to ship, but that's hard to setup.

SHARKS KEEP MOVING is streaming as of today:
https://neutronfriends.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-of-the-neutron

That's three up to stream for free on bandcamp... and only one on the other places.

from the thing:

"Ah, the shark terror of the deep. A little known fact about them is most sharks must keep moving to ensure water flows over their gills for respiration. Otherwise they will perish. What better metaphor for creative resilience, as an an artist changes and evolves? It is a central theme of the record and the song and the band. Sound wise the Jaws like main riff ties the whole thing together. The verses evokes Gang of Four more than most Neutron Friends songs, but has a pleasantly surprising Desert Rock(tm) style bridge with a few choice phrases that tie into the 'not just survive, but thrive' mindset of the record."
