It’s good to see there’s actually some news again. Things were pretty dry a couple weeks there around the holidays. This time it’s Weedeater, who according to Blabbermouth (and I tend to believe Blabbermouth on these things), are entering Steve Albini‘s Electrical Audio to record their new album. Right on. In case you missed it, their 2001 And Justice for Y’all debut was just reissued by Sleeping Village Records. Note how this story doesn’t say whether or not the new record will be on Southern Lord. Curious…

North Carolina sludge pillagers Weedeater will enter Electrical Audio studio in Chicago, Illinois later this month with producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Neurosis, Pixies) to begin recording their fourth album for a late 2010 release. Song titles set to appear on the CD include “The Claw of the Sloth” and “The Darkening.”

Weedeater will play a few shows on the way to the studio and back to showcase/road-test the new stuff. A list of dates can be found on the group’s MySpace page.
