Fievel Is Glauque have a new album on the way. Rong Weicknes, out October 25 via Fat Possum, follows the jazz duo’s 2022 LP Flaming Swords. “As Above So Below,” which you can hear below, leads the record. In a press release, the duo’s Zach Phillips called the track “probably our most conventional tune yet,” adding that the lyrics “could be said to both troll and co-sign typical pop lyricism.” Joey Agresta directed the song’s video, to a brief of visual cues from Phillips including “The Sound of Music, Ma [Clément, singer] spinning in a field, ’90s ‘positivity,’ Dido.”

On Rong Weicknes, Phillips and Clément enlisted an octet of musicians from the United States, Belgium, and Canada: guitarist Thom Gill, bassist Logan Kane, percussionist Daniel Rossi, André Sacalxot on woodwind, drummer Gaspard Sicx, and Chris Weisman on guitar and electric sitar. They recorded the album last year at the Outlier Inn, a farm and studio in upstate New York.
