Bi/MENTAL will be released on Feb. 1, and album features production work from Talking Heads' Jerry Harrison, according to Consequence of Sound. The album's first single, "father/ELOHIM,"was released on Nov. 26 along with the announcement.
Front woman Teri Gender Bender told Consequence Of Sound the album deals with family and mental health.
“Essentially, this record was inspired by the death of a living mother but none of that matters anymore,” Bender said. "A disconnection in itself is so ravage so confusing it leaves one feeling incomplete… is there hope? Is there light?”
The band, which is named after Gender Bender's desire to find other people who felt their spirit had been metaphorically butchered, will embark on North American tour launching Feb. 5 in Tustin, Calif. For more information on their tour visit Le Butcherettes' website.
