Fu Manchu is back with their first new record since Clone Of The Universe in 2018, and it's a big one. Fu Manchu will release their new double album The Return Of Tomrrow on June 14 via their label At The Dojo Records, and you can check out the single "Hards Of The Zodiac" below.
"When I listen to music, it's either all heavy stuff with no mellow stuff mixed in or just softer stuff with no heavy stuff," said Fu Manchu guitarist and vocalist Scott Hill. "I know a lot of bands like to mix it up and we have done that before, but I always tend to listen to all of one type of thing or the other. So, I figured we should do a double record with 7 heavy fuzzy songs on one record and the other record 6 mellow(er) songs fully realizing that maybe I'm the only person that likes to listen to stuff that way.
"We kept both the records to around 25-30 minutes each as to make it a full length release, but not have each record be too long. We don't write a lot of mellow(er) stuff in Fu Manchu, but a lot of the riffs worked minus the fuzz. If you're a vinyl person, both records are pressed at 45rpm to give it the best sound quality. If you're a digital person, can make your own playlist and mix both the records together."
