Swedish art-rockers Knife & Ape report that vocalist Johan Scott has parted ways with the band now that he's moved to Germany. Bassist Johan Lagerlöf will be handling mic duties in his stead.
In other news, the band's long-awaited new album "Night touch" will finally get a proper vinyl release via Moptaco Dics sometime around November. And since this album has taken so long, it looks like another one is already on the way via Kassettbolaget Svart Pyramid. It will be called "Class war" and it will come packaged as a super-limited CDr in a 7" sleeve with a fold-out poster. No release date yet, but I'll keep you posted.
