Brooklyn's art-scuzz two-piece Japanther have announced that they'll be releasing a new record, Eat Like Lisa Act Like Bart, through Recess Records on May 21. Along with the announcement comes a free download of their latest single, “Stolen Flowers”, which is a distorted pop-punk dream with enough punch and plenty of “ooo”s to keep us thinking of—what else?—summer. The band continues to pump out their signature bratty filtered sound and never fail to feel less like a two-piece and more like a city block party with every album.
The band is playing next weekend's Crossing Brooklyn Ferry Festival, along with The Roots, Eleanor Friedberger, Here We Go Magic, and many others.
