"Kyle Thomas has announced his sixth King Tuff album, MOO, which will be out March 27 via MUP Records / Thirty Tigers. He produced it himself in Vermont with the same Tascam 388 multi-track he used to make his debut, King Tuff is Dead. After 2023's folky, bucolic Smalltown Stardust, MOO appears to be a return to the glammy garage that originally got him noticed, as you can hear on first single, "Twisted on a Train.""
"I wrote and recorded the whole dang song in the span of a few hours, which was basically the opposite of how I had been working in the computer. Spending hours moving waveforms around like a zombie, comping vocals, second guessing, trying to make things sound not lifeless, trying to make anything sound good at all, took months. But here on the tape it was so much more alive. More like painting or collaging. More like making actual music."
Kyle Thomas announced his sixth King Tuff album, MOO, set for release March 27 via MUP Records / Thirty Tigers. He produced the record in Vermont using the same Tascam 388 multi-track used on his debut, King Tuff is Dead. MOO follows 2023's folky Smalltown Stardust and marks a return to a glammy garage sound heard on lead single "Twisted on a Train." The lead single was written and recorded within hours on tape, which Thomas describes as more alive and effortless compared with computer-based production. A ten-track listing and a spring 2026 tour with New York-area shows begin April 16.
