Musician Thurston Moore has announced a new album with John Moloney, of Chelsea Light Moving. The Moore-Moloney side project collaboration is being billed as Caught on Tape. Caught on Tape will release their first album, Full Bleed, on Oct. 21, 2014, via Northern Spy.

Moore has caught media attention this week for a statement he made about Black Metal, and the influence of that genre on this upcoming release with Moloney.

Moore said,

“Black Metal is music made by pussies of the lowest order, and we felt it was necessary to investigate this aberrant anti-music behaviour. We feel like the sound and attitude of black metal is a loss of self, life, light and desire in a way where it becomes so negative that a whole new bliss arrives where we become super pussy.”

According to Pitchfork and Stereogum, this statement was issued as a part of a Q&A in the press release.

His actual meaning remains unclear; however, it has been thought provoking for fans and the media, given that Moore used to be a part of the now disbanded American Black Metal group, Twilight. Moore is on the band’s third and final album, III: Beneath Trident’s Tomb, which was released earlier in 2014.

And, what about a tour to support Full Bleed?

Well according to Pitchfork, in the press release about the album Moore said,

“John and I, whether in Caught on Tape, or in any of our other side projects ALWAYS tour. We are soldiers of the road, warriors of the wing – buses, vans, cars, trains, bicycles — we get to gigs and we plug in whether we are expected to or not. We just may play again in support of this LP if we can find the minutes where the universe allows us to be in the same room at the same time.”
