Punk maestro Mikey Erg is back with a new record, backed by Jeff Rosenstock, Lou Hanman, and Alex Clute -- the same lineup that appeared on his debut solo album.

Love at Leeds was recorded entirely on analog by Steve Albini at Electrical Studios and will release on June 24 through Don Giovanni Records.

While the release is still a month away, Scene Point Blank is working on a review. But it's not just our own news here. Erg and company have shared a new video this week, an animated video for "Caroline Told Me So," here:

Love At Leeds Track List:

Sick As Your Secrets
