It’s been nearly two decades since Devo released its eighth studio album, Smooth Noodle Maps. But they’ve been on the reunion circuit lately, playing short tours of large-ish venues. The band recently announced it would play its classic first album Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in its entirety in London. (Hey, how about scheduling a similar show on native soil, guys?) Devo will also make an appearance at SXSW next week—and whenever elder musical statesmen show up in Austin, it tends to be a sign that they’ve got something up their sleeves. So… it makes perfect sense that the band is gearing up to release a new album this fall. 

Here’s the official word from Club Devo: “What the iconic new wave, art punk pioneers cautioned us about almost
30 years ago is no longer a humorous theory. It’s pretty much fact—we
now live in a devolved world that’s getting wackier each and every day.” I guess these guys haven’t jumped on the Barack-Obama-will-save-the-world bandwagon?
