10contra1 17x06: FUCKED UP (Year Of The Goat)

Nearly twenty years after its humble beginning, the journey of FUCKED UP’s ever-evolving Zodiac series begins its towering conclusion with the announcement of Grass Can Move Stones, a monumental ten-part finale set to a meticulously crafted text beginning with the album Year Of The Goat, set for physical release on December 12th. Four-and-a-half-years on from their last entry Year Of The Horse, Grass Can Move Stones will encompass the final three entries into the series – Goat, Monkey, and Rooster – telling one connected story over three albums, an almost five-hour musical voyage through their varied styles and influences, that will revisit and recontextualize elements from the previous nine zodiac entries in ingenious and limitlessly imaginative ways. The ten sides of music will be released serially over the course of a year starting with Year Of The Goat later this Fall, Year Of The Monkey in Spring 2026, and concluding with Year Of The Rooster in Autumn, the last entry of which will coincide with the 20th anniversary of Year Of The Dog in October 2026. Each entry will debut on the FUCKED UP Bandcamp, followed by a vinyl preorder for release on the longstanding home of FUCKED UP’s Zodiac releases, Tankcrimes. Issues the band, “We are excited to announce Grass Can Move Stones, the ten part finale to our twenty-year Zodiac album cycle. Join us over the next year as we release the Year Of The Goat LP, the Year Of The Monkey 2xLP, and the Year Of The Rooster 2xLP in installments, one story spread over almost five hours of music, that dives back into the characters, narratives, and music from all our previous zodiac records, told by dozens of characters and special guests. Sides will be released (almost) monthly on Bandcamp, leading up to the finale side in October 2026, the twenty-year anniversary of the first zodiac album, Year Of The Dog. Vinyl will hit stores through this year, so stay tuned.”
