The Philadelphia crew the Spirit Of The Beehive are releasing a new album, Hypnic Jerks, at the end of the week. We’ve heard two tracks from it already, “can i receive the contact?” and “d.o.u.b.l.e.u.r.o.n.g.,” and today they’re sharing the record’s title track.

It’s one of the sharpest the band’s ever put out, a jittery forward momentum carrying it from beginning to end, impressive for a band that usually eschews traditional structure. There’s plenty of weirdness on the margins here, from stuttering vocal loops to watery synths, but the core of the track is sticky. “I’m slipping away to call collect, sir/ My quarters are set aside/ Not a payphone in this realm could dial out to a landline.”
