X / MIDHEAVEN dual single out today! New video for X also premiering!🌿

Hey, friends!
We hope you're doing well!

First, we want to thank everyone who has already pre-ordered our forthcoming album, BEAR, coming October 10th on Magnetic Eye Records! Also, thanks to all who have listened to, watched, shared, and interacted with us about the first two singles, KEEPING SCORE and MELT! So glad the new work is connecting.

We're back today with another dual single, X / MIDHEAVEN! In the tradition of the first tracks released from the project, we're giving you some sugar and salt together with this new pair. The album has two sides, and these songs firmly represent each of them. Buick Audra wrote X fewer than six weeks after our friend and collaborator Steve Albini passed; she wrote it while grieving and also observing the lost generation grieve in the singular ways they do. It is a loving nod to Gen X and their genius contributions to art and culture. The video for X, directed and edited by Jerry Roe, is also premiering today alongside the two tracks; all can be found in this great piece in Everything Is Noise! And that camera Buick is shooting in the second verse? Steve's.

At the other end of the spectrum, MIDHEAVEN explores the idea of nature vs. nurture, and whether one can attribute personality and behavioral traits to astrological placements. BEAR is an album about belonging, and these tracks offer different lenses through which to view the subject; one is a more intimate perspective while the other goes wide. We hope you love them both!

If you haven't yet pre-ordered a beautiful green/black marbled vinyl copy of BEAR, we've added a new set of merch offerings! There's now a black and white album cover shirt as well as a bundle including that shirt design - both are limited edition. Grab them while they still exist!

If you'd like to read a thoughtful interview with us about the album and KEEPING SCORE / MELT, there's a brand-new one in Mundane Magazine! So grateful to be asked about the new work.

It's a big time, friends. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. We hope the new songs make you feel known, bold, and brave.  Enjoy!
Buick & Jerry, FC

KEEPING SCORE / MELT dual single out today! BEAR album coming in October!

FRIENDS.

First, hello! We're so happy to be here with you all. Hope you're okay. Better than okay! Second, we have so much to tell you! Allow us to start at the beginning.

We've signed a multiple-album deal with Magnetic Eye Records! Truly! We're so happy about it, glad to be among such a cool heavy music community, and absolutely thrilled to have a good home for our forthcoming album!

Speaking of which, BEAR will be released on October 10th through Magnetic Eye! It's an album about the ever-elusive idea of belonging—where it occurs, and where it absolutely does not. BEAR was co-produced by us—Buick Audra (guitars, vocals) and Jerry Roe (drums, bass)—along with our longtime collaborator, Kurt Ballou. Pre-orders just went live!

The first dual single, KEEPING SCORE / MELT, is out everywhere today, along with dynamic videos! The video for MELT premiered in Decibel Magazine last week, and KEEPING SCORE is live today!

One last thing! Buick's solo album ADULT CHILD has been out for one full month now, and her solo electric tour dates start tomorrow, July 16th! Check her dates to see if she's coming anywhere near you!

We appreciate you more than you know, and we hope you love the new work!

LEGALIZE LEX this weekend (4/19) + new music from Buick Audra!

Hey friends!

Hope the season is treating you well so far! We've been working on getting our new album to you (it's coming!), but there's still a little bit left to nail down before we can do so. What we're going to do in the immediate future is play LEGALIZE LEX tomorrow (April 19th) in Lexington, KY! We've been looking forward to this festival for months. Tons of great bands, should be a killer time. We spoke with Tom Robbins from the And Now The Band podcast about the event; check out our conversation! Here's the schedule for tomorrow! 

TICKETS

Also, Buick has started releasing singles from her forthcoming album, ADULT CHILD, out June 13th! The first single QUESTIONS FOR THE GODS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR was released on March 21st, and the second single YELLOW is out today! Buick wrote and produced the album, she and Justin Francis recorded it, Kurt Ballou mixed it, and Brad Boatright mastered it! It's a concept record about identity, estrangement, and trying to outrun one's lineage. Check out the new songs and pre-order the album!

That's all for now, but we should have some details about the new music soon. We appreciate you being here. See some of you this weekend!

New year, new music on the way! First, some shows + a benefit compilation!

Happy 2025, friends!

How are you? We're okay! We're inching into this new year, trying to be of service when and where we can, and preparing to make a whole lot of noise.  We have a new album on the way! It's big and bold and gets into the idea of belonging (What is it? Where do we find it?). We can't wait to share it with you, and in time, we will! First, we're going to play some shows!

Our first dates of the year are all in North Carolina in early February! We're looking forward to playing some familiar and new places with our pals in Bluething. Join us if we're coming anywhere near you! We're also thrilled to announce that we're hitting the beloved LEGALIZE LEX festival in Lexington KY on April 19th! Should be a loud, fuzzy time.

ALL TICKETS HERE

We've had California on our minds for weeks now. We send our love to everyone dealing with displacement and loss related to the fires. We're so happy to have been able to contribute a track to this compilation, LOVE LOS ANGELES: A Charity Compilation in Aid of the 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires Benefiting the Mutual Aid LA Network, which is out today, January 24th! This project was put together by Hit the North Records and is exclusively available on Bandcamp. You can hear our song OF THE WE (Steve Albini Mix) alongside some powerful other music. Please support it if you can!

We're so grateful you're here! As always, we stand with the LGBTQIA+ community, with immigrants, with Indigenous communities, with all seeking reproductive freedom, with survivors, with disabled people, with Black, Brown, Asian, and all POC. We're afraid of what's to come, too, but we will not obey in advance. We will also not look away. We love you, we're with you. You are safe with us. Now and forever.

In solidarity,
Buick & Jerry, FC

Two shows this weekend + first tour of 2025 announced!

Friends!

We hope you're having a scenic late Autumn wherever you are. We've been home in Nashville for the past month finishing our brand-new album! Buick just wrapped the vocals this past week. Now the project is back in Kurt Ballou's hands and will be mixed by the end of the year! We truly can't wait to share it with you.

In the meantime, we're going to play some shows! Our last two events of 2024 are this weekend: Friday, December 6th at DRKMTTR in Nashville and Saturday, December 7th at Boggs Social & Supply in Atlanta! You coming?

Then, in early February, we're heading out for our first shows of 2025, all in North Carolina! Stoked to be hitting some cities we haven't played in a while—and some we've NEVER played (what's up, Winston-Salem?)!

Speaking of North Carolina, we're honored to have a track on this incredible, massive compilation, CAVERNS OF GOLD, released on November 1st! This project benefits Beloved Asheville, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing relief and long-term support for the community as the Western North Carolina region rebuilds from hurricane damage earlier this year. The compilation boasts a wide range of artists, from REM to us, and we were more than happy to contribute our track DESPERATELY SEEKING (Steve Albini Mix) to such an important and urgent cause. Please support it if you can!

That's it for now! We hope to see you at the shows! We've so appreciated your support and presence in our lives this year. Let's go out on a loud note!

In solidarity,

Buick & Jerry, FC

October tour dates start Friday, 10/4!

Happy October!

We'll start playing some shows in just a few days, and we'd love to have you there! This month finds us in the Southwest, the West Coast, the Middle Left (is that a term?), and the Midwest, still supporting our album MASS which just turned one year old! We'll also be playing a little from the BILL album in honor of Steve Albini and our July release of his mixes of that project—plus some brand-new work! Join us!

Speaking of new work, we spent some of September in Salem, MA making our fourth LP with Kurt Ballou! Buick still has to sing the album, but the instrumental work has been recorded and we can't wait to share it with you before too long!

Last, to celebrate the second anniversary of her solo album Conversations with My Other Voice, Buick released the audio for her in-studio performance of Simply Said (Live at Sound Emporium). Enjoy!

That's it for today! We appreciate your continued support and will see some of you soon!

Tour dates start this week!

Hi, friends!
Our tour dates kick off this week, and we've added a few! We're stoked to be starting our Fall dates in Columbus OH this weekend (8/24) at Ace of Cups for the Blockout Bash festival; from there, we have a three-show run with our pals in Brother Wolf hitting Detroit (8/30), Chicago (8/31), and Grand Rapids (9/01). A few rad shows sprinkled throughout September, and then we're out for two straight weeks in October. Looking forward to all of it! Check the full list of dates below to see if we're coming anywhere near you!

Thanks for all the love around the release of BILL - The Steve Albini Mixes! If you missed it, Buick did a daily series on the individual songs from the album on our socials, with songwriting and recording memories, plus lots of great footage and imagery from working with Steve. Enjoy! If you missed her essay in New Noise Magazine, check it out here.

Also, we did an interview for Doomed Nation about what we're up to lately, what we're each listening to, and what qualifies as a "guilty pleasure" around here!

That's it for today! We appreciate your continued support and hope to see some of you on the road!
