We previously brought you music from SISU, the project of former Dum Dum Girls drummer Sandra Vu. This week, SISU premiered a new track over at Brooklyn Vegan and announced the release date for an impending full-length album. Blood Tears will see release through Mono Prism Records on September 17th. “Harpoons” is the first single to emerge from the album and features pounding toms and a swelling chorus that has Vu belting out the refrain: “Ha- ha- harpoons.” The song has a touch of late 90s buzz that wanders through keys and guitars. In a final piece of SISU news, the band will launch a U.S. tour in the coming weeks. Full dates are listed below. The group will open for Dirty Beaches in Austin on the day of their album release, September 17th. Should be a good one!
