Austin, TX psych/math rockers BOYFRNDZ have premiered the first single from their upcoming second album entitled Breeder.  Listen to the song “Each Others” via Noisey who describe it as “celestial spacey rock territory a la The Mars Volta” HERE.  Breeder was recorded in late 2013 at Cacophony Recorders with producer / engineer Erik Wofford (THE BLACK ANGELS, WHITE DENIM) and is set for release on vinyl and digital formats via Brutal Panda Records on April 1st.  Physical pre-orders are available HERE while digital pre-orders are available HERE.

Additionally the band has announced a month long North American Tour in support of Breeder that will start with multiple performances at SXSW starting on March 13th and hit both coasts plus Canada before wrapping up in Oklahoma City on April 20th.  A full list of dates is available below.

BOYFRNDZ formed in 2011 and have released one prior full-length and a series of EPs that quickly garnered them attention from both fans and critics.  The new record comes on the heels of their excellent Natures EP, which was produced by Ikey Owens (THE JACK WHITE BAND, THE MARS VOLTA) and released this past Spring. The video for the track ‘Moving Parts’ from that album can be seen HERE.

“A uniquely soaring sound that traverses everything from Drive Like Jehu’s wiry guitars, Sigur Ros‘ ethereal beauty, early Jane’s Addiction’s outer-space hard rock and myriad others.” – Exploding In Sound
“A noisy and energetic breath of fresh air” – Sputnik Music
“Their modus operandi is a paradox that works off tension and release, exhaustion and redemption- producing songs that are satisfying but also exciting…Boyfrndz stands out amongst the rest of the crowd.”  – Prefix Magazine
“Features propulsive rhythms and atmospheric shredding …, while evoking the progressive math-core tendencies of like-minded artists Omar Rodríguez-López and Bosnian Rainbows.”– Exclaim!
