Back in March we reported that pop-rock quartet BUMP OF CHICKEN would be releasing their ninth studio album on July 10th. As this date begins to draw closer, the group have now published all of the information regarding the release online.

The record, titled “aurora arc”, will include nine of the band’s previously released tracks, as well as five yet-to-be released songs for a total of 14. Of note, the release’s cover art was a collaboration between visual designer VERDY and photographer Yoshiharu Ota, who traveled to Canada’s Yellowknife in order to take photos of the Aurora Borealis.
