An Albatross Ready Blessphemy, Tour U.S., Europe

It's official: the forthcoming album from Philly spazz addicts An Albatross will be the trippiest record in the history of the world. Due out in the spring on Ace Fu Records (GSL will handle the vinyl), it bears the moniker Blessphemy (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear-Warp Kumite). Beat that, Acid Mothers Temple! Bow down, Devendra! And could a generation of jam bands ever come up with anything approximating the following song titles? No fucking way:

01 In the Court of the Bear King
02 Lysergically Yours, My Psychedelic Bride
03 Dimensional Gymnastics
04 Trust the Sun, the Symphonic Sunrise
05 Divine Birthrite (Maiden Voyage of the Grape Ape)
The Trilogy:
06 I.) Behold the Light
07 II.) Profane Illumination
08 III.) The Illumination of the Nation
09 Tussin and Turnin' All Night
10 Hairobics
11 The Ballad of the Electric Coyote
12 I Will Swim Into the Lazer Eye
13 Feastgiver
14 Cosmic Gypsy
15 Sacred Geometry
16 Death Rides a Brown Horse
17 Stormbringer
18 The Eyes of the Jaguar

The album may or may not be longer than 11 minutes.
