This morning, Consequence of Sound published a track by track breakdown of the new album and praised "their brand of acidic stoner rock... which falls somewhere between the camp of the Melvins and the socio-political commentary of contemporaries Chat Pile.” Northern Transmissions praised their “thrashy brilliance and controlled madness” while FLOOD Magazine proclaimed “This is Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs at their most straightforward and cutthroat: nine tracks that assault you with the single-minded fury of the phantom animals adorning the record’s cover.” Last month, the band released the official video for the single “Glib Tongued” featuring El-P which followed the release of the “righteous horns-up riff-beast” (Stereogum) “Stitches” and the “five-plus-minute crusher” (Consequence) “Detroit.” The songs have been praised by BrooklynVegan, Glide Magazine, Metal Injection, Metal Sucks, The Needle Drop, New Noise Magazine, Stereogum, Vanyaland, Consequence and many more. Last year, Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs released a Record Store Day exclusive vinyl release of their explosive KEXP session, which has surpassed one million views on YouTube. Death Hilarious follows their breakthrough fourth studio album Land of Sleeper which was acclaimed by Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, Consequence of Sound, The Quietus, DIY Magazine, AllMusic and many more. In their 4 star review, The Guardian proclaimed, “their Black Sabbath-esque doom riffs make them accessible to anyone who has overlooked the past few decades worth of hard rock history… it’s undeniable that the band’s fourth album Land of Sleeper will keep listeners entrenched in their heady cosmos.” North American Tour: 6/18 – New York, NY – Le Poisson Rouge 6/19 – Philadelphia, PA – Underground Arts 6/20 – Washington, DC – 9:30 Club 6/21 – Pittsburgh, PA – Thunderbird 6/23 – Cleveland, OH – Grog Shop 6/24 – Detroit, MI – Magic Bag 6/25 – Chicago, IL – Lincoln Hall 6/27 – Toronto, ON – The Concert Hall 6/28 – Montreal, QC – Bar Le Ritz 6/29 – Boston, MA – Brighton Music Hall 8/14 – Santa Ana, CA – Constellation Room 8/15 – Los Angeles, CA – Lodge Room 8/16 – San Francisco, CA – The Chapel 8/18 – Portland, OR – Mississippi Studios 8/19 – Vancouver, BC – The Pearl 8/20 – Seattle, WA – Tractor Tavern 8/22 – Salt Lake City, UT – The State Room 8/23 – Denver, CO – Bluebird Theatre 8/25 – Dallas, TX – Club Dada 8/26 – Houston, TX – White Oak Upstairs 8/27 – Austin, TX – The Parish June dates with support from Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol August dates with support from Slaughterhouse
