Fat Possum Records will release Slurrup. Liam Hayes' first U.S. album in five years. Recorded earlier this year in his native Chicago, Slurrup' is Hayes leanest, most urgent album to date, but also his most generous. Trading the lush orchestrations and hazy melodies that characterized some of his past work, the thirteen tracks on Slurrup offer immediacy, economy, and hooks, while retaining Hayes' unique ear for language. Slurrup, One Way Out, Nothing Wrong, Get It Right, Theme from Mindball, Fokus, Greenfield, Keys to Heaven, Long Day, Channel 44, Outhouse, August Fourteenth, Fight Magic with Magic
