Brooklyn DIY duo Sharkmuffin is kicking in the front door to announce their sophomore album Tsuki: heading out on a massive tour across the US and UK, and debuting brand-new track "Space Glow" today via CLRVYNT. "Space Glow" combines the group's signature guitar crunch with reverberating vocals that bounce between airy and in-your-face. STREAM "SPACE GLOW" VIA CLRVYNT
The band explains: "We tracked Tsuki in one lunar cycle last year beginning on the lunar new year. This wasn't intentional, but inspired the album title. 'Space Glow' isn't exactly about outer space, but is about a brilliant artist with PTSD and synesthesia whose best friend happens to be the moon."
Tsuki will be released on May 5 via Little Dickman Records. Check out Sharkmuffin's upcoming tour dates and SXSW showcase times below.

MORE ABOUT SHARKMUFFIN:
Sharkmuffin is Tarra Thiessen and Natalie Kirch a bio of Brooklynite sirens bred from the waves of the Jersey shore. Influenced by everyone from Nirvana to The Ronettes,
Sharkmuffin adds a unique jagged edge onto '60s beach pop meets '90s alt sound, a genre lovingly dubbed "opti-mystic glam-grunge." With several cross-country tours (including many return trips to SXSW) and no shortage of EPs,
Sharkmuffin has been creating a veritable whirlpool of musical chaos. Their 2015 debut LP
Chartreuse is their most vicious lure, featuring 10 tracks that bleed heavily with feminine rage and cheeky sass alike.
Sharkmuffin is ready to release their sophomore effort Tsuki (feat. Kim Deuss on drums) on May 5th, 2017, touring the country this March with their original line-up of Drew Adler on drums and Chris Nunez on second guitar, and plan to serve up their signature cocktails and ice cream by inventing the first punk rock brunch truck. Stay tuned for further deliciousness.
