In case you needed further proof that the ‘90s never died, Archers Of Loaf just released their first new song in 22 years—presumably in honor of finally reuniting and announcing a new string of tour dates for the first time in nearly a decade. This comes from Stereogum, which doesn’t say if this track (called “Raleigh Days”) is meant to foreshadow some more tracks or a new album, but we would advise against looking a gift Archers in the mouth. You don’t want to jinx it and have to wait another 22 years for a follow-up song. Nobody’s going to be talking about the ‘90s in the 2040s. We’ll be too busy fighting over water.
Here’s “Raleigh Days,” followed by the full list of tour dates. Spoiler alert: The band is going to North Carolina, but… there’s a catch. (They’re not going to Raleigh.)
