The Jesus Lizard have shared a third single from their forthcoming album Rack

Moto(R) follows Hide & Seek and Alexis Feels Sick as the third taste of the Chicago noise-rock band’s first new album in 26 years, set for release on September 13, via Ipecac Recordings, and is described by guitarist Duane Denision as “not Motörhead, and not Radiohead either.”
