Lightning Bolt announce new album Fantasy Empire
Providence, Rhode Island noise-rock duo Lightning Bolt are releasing their first new album in six years. The band’s follow-up to 2009’s Earthly Delights is called Fantasy Empire, and it’s being released March 24 via Thrill Jockey. Take a look at the cover art above, and tracklist below.
