Small Black have announced that they will release their new album, ’Limits of Desire’ on May 13, 2013 via Jagjaguwar. They have shared the first single today, along with the album art and tracklisting.
Stream the first single ‘Free At Dawn’ on SoundCloud:
The cover of the album, shot by Dutch artist Scarlett Hooft Graafland, apparently serves as a sort of visual source code for its themes. “How are our desires limited and how, in turn, are we limited by them? Featuring a man and a woman embracing on either side of a ladder, the two are completely naked, divided by its triangular span – close but unable to get any closer. It is a moving depiction of modern connectivity and interaction.“
