That famous band that still gets pronounced awkwardly, Die Antwoord, is preparing to release a follow-up to their 2010 debut, $0$. They announced as much in an interview with Spin, saying that the new album – named Tension – is scheduled for a January 2012 release; they’ve also released the names of a couple of new tracks.
Tensions gets its “freakier and more absurd” (Spin‘s words) sound from the band’s decision to stay in Cape Town;
“We needed to stay in Africa and return to the tension we had before our success,” explains Ninja. “By staying home the acid trip of blowing up slowly faded away. The less that was going on the more creative we were.”
The tracks titles that we know so far are “Tsotsi Taal,” “The Money and the Power,” “I Think You’re Freaky,” “Fatty Boom Boom,” and “Baby’s on Fire.”
Which sounds about right.
