Here’s some more info from Cruz del Sur:
The album will probably take everyone by surprise, as always, when SLOUGH FEG is involved. “The Animal Spirits” appears to be a new step in the eclectic, powerful style choice of SLOUGH FEG, and the artwork will also reflect some changes. Unlike their previous releases, the artwork will be more simple and immediate to fit the album atmosphere better…

And some from Slough Feg mastermind Mike Scalzi himself:
“The title sounds like it could mean plenty of things, but really refers to an Aristotelian theory of perception that was somehow taken seriously until the mid to later 1700’s (?!) Why this was I don’t know, but it involves these bizarre fluid called ‘animal spirits’ traveling through a person’s veins carrying information of what they have perceived, storing it in the heart, and then releasing it again when that thing is remembered. It really a primitive precursor to the idea of neurons firing in a chain, containing ideas. So that’s what people will find if they do a little research about the title.”

I’m not sure what the release date is yet. Soon I hope!!!
To be released in North America on Oct 26th.
