Exclusive: Sunburned Hand of the Man Head to Infinity
http://assets.pitchforkmedia.com/ima...nedzcover.jpg? Following in the footsteps of My Morning Jacket, Sunburned Hand of the Man are calling their forthcoming album Z. Main Man John Moloney says the record is "about infinity and the double dimension we all live in yet don't fully understand. Z is the sound of that feeling you get when you think you're being watched or followed by the omnipotent one."

In keeping with the metaphysical theme, the album's five tracks are titled simply with different numbers of infinity symbols. And since it would have been in keeping with their neo-hippie aesthetic, we are bummed that Sunburned didn't title the album Infinity While High.

Ecstatic Peace! will release Z on April 17, but the band will start touring in support of it quite a bit before then. They play one show tonight at SUNY Purchase before kicking off a larger tour on March 3, and even more tour dates are forthcoming.

The Sunburned folks plan to release new entries in the Manhand series of CD-R and live releases. And later this year, they will release a collaborative record with Four Tet titled Fire Escape on the Norwegian Smalltown Supersound label.
