Clipping have announced a new album. The experimental hip-hop group’s latest is called Visions of Bodies Being Burned and it’s set for release on October 23 via Sub Pop. The trio have also shared the project’s first single, ‘Say the Name’, which samples Scarface’s ‘Mind Playing Tricks on Me’. Check it out below, and scroll down for the album’s cover artwork and tracklist.
Videos of Bodies Being Burned follows last year’s excellent There Existed an Addiction to Blood. According to a press release, it consists of material recorded during the same sessions and was originally supposed to arrive only a few months later, but was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the album’s closing track, ‘Secret Piece’, is reportedly a performance of Yoko Ono’s rare 1953 text score, which instructs the musicians to “Decide on one note that you want to play/Play it with the following accompaniment: the woods from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m/ in summer.”
