Fucked Up announce 'Year of the Monkey' ft. Dan Bejar, Keith Morris, Walter Schreifels, more, share 2 tracks

"Grass Can Move Stones tells the story of Monkey and Good Goat, two young friends who embark on a journey of self-discovery, encountering gods, magical creatures, and dangers along the way, loosely following the narrative of the fundamental Journey To The West, written in the 16th century by Wu Cheng'en. The story also charts the career of the band, whose search for a musical home has led them through a varied and complex discography over the past twenty-five years."

"Grass Can Move Stones Part 2: Year of the Monkey is due out June 6 via the band's own Hidden World label. It follows December's Year of the Goat, which was the first installment of the 10-part finale of the whole series."
