Mclusky Return with First New Album in 21 Years 'The World Is Still Here and So Are We'

Hear their new single "Way of the Exploding Dickhead"

Published Feb 12, 2025

As promised, Mclusky are back with their first new album since 2004. After news of their reunion circled last year, the Welsh noise-rockers will deliver The World Is Still Here and So Are We on May 9, nearly 21 years later to the date, via Ipecac.

Today, they preview their first new full-length in over two decades with lead single "Way of the Exploding Dickhead." 

Andrew Falkous shared of the track, "With a title modelled on/ripped off a formative video game ('the way of the exploding fist' on the zx spectrum), and lyrics inspired by the huge excitement caused by the surge pricing on tickets to see a band play well in the distance, 'way of the exploding dickhead' is a modern parable, without the parable bit."
