Fucked Up have announced their next long-form 12-inch single, "Year of the Ox." Due out September 14, 2010, the album is the latest in the band's series which also includes Year of the Dog, Year of the Pig and Year of the Rat. The a-side of the album is an expected 11-minute song featuring a string section and vocalist Zola Jesus which Matador Records described as a "majestic orchestral piece."

Fucked Up also noted that they have another "Year Of" album planned, this one titled Year of the Tiger and also due out soon.

call it a double standard but i sure didn't like that screaming lady's vocals in the video of the song. i know the record has a different woman, here's to hoping she sounds a bit less like that

I'm happy a band like this exists and is really pushing different musical boundaries and such but I really can not get into their music. I'm so pedestrian.

Chemistry didn't grab me at all, but I do love what they've done with their Year Of series.

Yo! What's good with yas?

Just a reminder that the second season of JERSEY SHORE premieres July 29th on MTV. We're gonna party up Gainesville - and trust me - it's gonna be the biggest thing that city sees all year.

STAY FRESH.

Best entry in the "Year Of..." series so far. I'm pumped to see how the record version comes out.

I love the Year series and I hope there's some sort of compilation once they're done with it

Same here, but I hope they're never done with it.
