Avant punk quartet, ¡Forward, Russia! are to release their second album, Life Processes in the UK on April 14th, with a single ‘Breaking Standing’ preceding it a week earlier on April 7th.

As reported late last year, it was recorded in Seattle with producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus The Bear, Blood Brothers).

Europe & USA release dates are still being confirmed, but the album will be released in the States by Mute North America and Vinyl Junkie in Japan.

The band are touring through April, with shows calling at the following place and dates:

April
15 Glasgow King Tuts *
16 Aberdeen Kef
17 Dundee Fat Sams
18 Newcastle Academy 2
20 Liverpool Barfly
21 Bristol Thekla
22 London Kings College #
23 Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms
25 Birmingham Barfly
27 Manchester Academy 3
28 Leeds The Cockpit #
29 Nottingham Rescue Rooms

All dates are 14+, except: *18+ / #14+ (14-16 must be accompanied by an adult)

All tickets are £7.50, except in London which is inevitably, a little more.

Most notably of all, the band have issued an exclusive track to DiS via RCRDLBL from today. You can download album closer ‘Spanish Triangles’ by doing the clicky clicky.

Let us know what you reckon, innit.
