It’s no hallucination: Merge just signed one of everyone’s favorite artists, the incomparable Fucked  Up! The collective have outdone themselves with their forthcoming double-album epic Dose Your Dreams, out worldwide on October 5 via Merge (save for Arts & Crafts in Canada). You can reserve your copy today on 2-CD, 2-LP, and yellow-in-clear “creamfruit” Peak Vinyl in the Merge store.
In addition to new tour dates in North America, Fucked Up are announcing this fantastic news with “Raise Your Voice Joyce,” the first single from Dose Your Dreams. It marks a return to the group’s perennial hero David as he encounters the revolutionary sorcerer Joyce Tops, who lives in a garbage bin behind his work, set to an incendiary Buzzcocks-inspired stormer.
