Cloud Rat Announce New Album + Live Dates, Stream First Single

High fives all around, gang: Michigan’s consistently-awesome Cloud Rat have announced that they’ll release their fourth full-length studio album, Pollinator, on September 13th via Artoffact Records. That’s right: the album is coming out Friday the 13th! So eeeeeevvvvvvilllll!

And as if that wasn’t enough, a press release tell us that “Cloud Rat has devoted an entire EP to its more experimental leanings: Artoffact will release Do Not Let Me Off the Cliff as the second disc in a 2-CD digipak version of Pollinator.” So we’re actually getting two new Cloud Rat albums on the same day. Talk about an embarrassment of riches.

And as if THAT wasn’t enough, the band has also announced a whole buncha new live dates around the same time as the albums’ release.

Check out the first single from Pollinator, “Webspinner,” below. You can pre-order Pollinator here. The new live dates are at the bottom of this post!
