Six Organs of Admittance Awakens on New LP

When considering the recently wrapped Comets on Fire jaunt, current Current 93 stint, and approaching Six Organs of Admittance trek on Ben Chasny's radar, the difference between him and me becomes clear: He can participate in all three projects without losing fuel, whereas I'm poooped from just coming up with so many synonyms for "tour." Dude's a machine, man.

In the midst of these road trips, a new record from Chasny's Six Organs moniker is set to make its way to the record store. Following 2005's School of the Flower is The Sun Awakens, due June 5 on Drag City in the UK and June 13 in North America, both on CD and vinyl formats. And don't let the title mislead you; a press release claims Sun showcases "the darkest Six Organs of Admittance yet". Tim Green (Fucking Champs, Nation of Ulysses) twiddled knobs on the album and OM's Al Cisneros guests, contributing bass on the track "River of Transfiguration".

Daaaank:

01 Torn by Wolves
02 Bless Your Blood
03 Black Wall
04 The Desert Is a Circle
05 Attar
06 Wolves' Pup
07 River of Transfiguration

In early June, Chasny will wrap up a tour as a member of Current 93. Note June 1, when both C93 and Six Organs of Admittance will perform at the Dimitris Horn Theatre in Athens. Dates:
