Thurston Moore has announced a new LP with his Chelsea Light Moving bandmate John Moloney under the band name Caught on Tape. The album is called Full Bleed, and it'll be released October 21 via Northern Spy.

In a press release, Moore dropped this doozy of a quote when discussing whether black metal inspired the album:

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.

Eloquent! Earlier this year, Moore released an album with the black metal supergroup Twilight.

Additionally, the album might inspire a tour—or it might not:

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.
