Brooklyn art punk group Gustaf have announced their debut album today.

Titled Audio Drag For Ego Slobs, the 10-track album is set for an October 1 release on Royal Mountain Records. The first single from the album titled “Book” is out on digital services right now. Its accompanying music video can be seen below. Vocalist Lydia Gammil said this about the new song:

"'Book' is a song about the fallacy and fight of getting ahead vs being a head. It is seeking validation in the wrong places and from the wrong people. The hook, “I got ahead, I got a head” is a fun little taunt that we find either being thrown in our face or coming out our mouth. Everyone gets their moment up on the pedestal and everyone gets their turn falling off of it. Whether it’s up or down, ‘Book’ is about accepting whatever level you’re on."

Pre-orders for Audio Drag For Ego Slobs can be made here.

This fall, the band will be supporting IDLES on tour across the United States before heading to the U.K. for a supporting stint alongside Pillow Queens. Their upcoming tour dates can be seen below.
