Michigan ass-shakers Nomo have returned with their third worldly LP. The follow-up to 2006's New Tones is called Ghost Rock, and it comes out June 17 via Ubiquity.

Ghost Rock features percussion from Hamid Drake and Adam Rudolph on several songs, while former Roots bassist and frequent Prefuse 73/Sam Prekop collaborator Josh Abrams lent his low-end talents to "Rings".

In addition to a handful of Nomo headlining dates and festival sets this spring and summer, bandleader Elliot Bergman has an art show with His Name Is Alive's Warren Defever and Hitoko Sakai at Detroit's UFO Factory. Running through April 29, "The Silver Piano" features a display of over a hundred electric kalimbas the three  musicians crafted. An electric kalimba performance will take place at the space on April 26.
