With just a matter of weeks to go until King Parrot grace stages around the country in support of their forthcoming new album, the group have given fans a fresh teaser by way of latest single, Look Away I’m Hideous.

Early in February, King Parrot released their first piece of new music in five years, Fuck You And the Horse You Rode In On. Followed up just weeks later by Target Pig Elite and then Punish The Runt, the new tracks are set to appear on the band’s forthcoming record, A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot.

Scheduled for release on June 6th, the new album was recorded with engineer Luke Walton at Melbourne’s Dangertone Studios. The full-length marks the band’s first album since 2017’s Ugly Produce and first new music since their 2020 EP, Holed Up In The Lair.

For their latest single, the group teamed up with animator The Art Of Fox (aka Mike Foxall of Nancy Vandal) to craft a video which dives deep into the concept of modern day body modification disasters.

“Perplexed as to what drives the desires of seemingly already attractive people to cross that line into addictive, overblown, plastic surgery modification,” muses King Parrot guitarist Squiz. “And to just keep ramping it up?

“And then also, the lovers and appreciators of said mods? I mean, I got body issues up the wazoo but this stuff seems inherently dangerous and alien to me. In any case... As is your want!”

King Parrot will also be heading out on tour for a national album launch tour next month, with tickets on sale now. After their Aussie dates, they’ll be going global, performing alongside a reformed Acid Bath and Pentagram in New York City this July, before touring around the US with Pantera and Amon Amarth.
