LOVERLESS are pushing the envelope with their new record. Nothing Under the Sun will be initially released at an October 10 show at the Big Easy, where attendees will receive cards with instructions on downloading the record, which can only be listened to initially as two extended tracks, an A side and a B side.

Listen for 20-gauge shotguns used as instruments.
