Sumac, the American Canadian metal band announced today that they will be releasing a collaborative album with Keiji Haino titled American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous To Look At Face On. The collaborative album will be released through Thrill Jockey sometime in February of 2018.
For American Dollar Bill – Keep Facing Sideways, You’re Too Hideous To Look At Face On, Haino and Sumax came together in Tokyo’s Goksound recording studio to record a series of unrehearsed, completely non-premediated sessions.
Sumac came together back in 2014 and released their debut album, The Deal the following year through Lore Records. Their follow-up, What One Becomes hit stores in 2016. Three years and the band has been good to fans but 2017 was the year that fans were missing new material from the group. Sumac is trying to fix that as the band has been meddling around in the studio working on new music.
Fans of the band know that waiting for new music may come instantly or it may take some time but they know when new music is released, the wait is worth it. The new collaborative album with Keiji Haino might just be enough for now.
Haino is a Japanese instrumentalist who’s famous for his collaborations artists such as Boris, Faust, John Zorn and Seven O’Malley of Sunn.O. He is also known for his disguising discs and working with Sumac.
Sumac features Vancouver, British Columbia-based Nick Yachshyn (Baptists) and Vashon, Washington-based Aaron Turner (Mamiffer, Old Man Gloom, ex-Isis.)
More details on the album will be announced soon. Fans, though, can pre-order their copy of the collaborative album in all its variety of formats here.
