NOFX will release their new companion piece to 2021's Single Album and 2022's Double Album. It's entitled Half Album, and will be available April 19th via Fat Wreck Chords. The "half album" will consist of 5 tracks that didn't make the Single and Double albums in time -- taking 5 years to finish. You can check out the lead single, "I'm a Rat," below:
Fat Mike comments:
Was it worth it? Was it worth spending five years finishing the five songs on my double album project that I thought were the worst of the bunch? Was it a good idea to spend so much time raising the runts of the litter? Was it an error in judgement when I wrote a song about the magnitude of my arrogance? I think the answers to all of these rhetorical questions might be found by listening to this half sided album..... but I seriously doubt it.
Mike continues on the "double album" concept:
These songs were all recorded at the same time. It just takes me a while to finish shit. So, this is me tying up loose ends, which is very good for the soul. I don't think there are any good double albums. The White Album is a great album, but it's not a great double album. There are a lot of shit songs on there. I don't think there's any shit songs on this—I wrote it to make a great double album.
