Blues-punk legends Boss Hog returned last year with “Wichita Grey,” their first new song in 16 years, and followed with an EP called Brood Star. Now Cristina Martinez and Jon Spencer’s post-Pussy Galore project is putting out a full-fledged album. Brood X will arrive in March, and today we hear our first preview in the form of album closer “17.” It’s a brooding, minimal, subtly chaotic acoustic blues creep with occasional symphonic flourishes, punctuated by Martinez’s manta, “All I need to do is breathe.” It sounds a bit like Eleanor Friedberger lurching her way through a smoky roadhouse bar that’s eventually invaded by cicadas. Listen below.
