Over the last 3 years, Media Puzzle have churned out 3 scuzzy post-punk albums and 2 blisteringly short, and fun EPs. \"Residing somewhere between Suicide's dark melodies, and Uranium Club's remote eccentricities\", the last two releases landed an exclusive vinyl feature in Rough Trade, and a solid 7.6 score from Pitchfork, praised for it's \"uncanny creativity that egg punk weirdos love to tout\". Having carved out a space between drum machine-riddled egg-punk and fuzzy scuzz-pop, their newest record is a departure from previous efforts, and it seems, a maturing... After a year of DIY recording and touring, Media Puzzle grace the track with their 4th (and still somewhat speedy) album, New Racehorse. Ditching the previous drum machine-focused, egg punk fashion, this fourth album is the most collaborative yet, mixing oddball pop and garage punk. For fans of early Beck, Uranium Club, DEVO, and everything in between. Pressed onto purple transparent vinyl with a custom design retail sticker. \"That's what media puzzle can't help but display across New Racehorse: the sheer fun they have coming up with songs and figuring out how to curl each ribbon dangling off their edges\" 8.0 - PITCHFORK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrack List:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Knowledge\u003cbr\u003e2 New Pet\u003cbr\u003e3 Out of the Rain\u003cbr\u003e4 Don't Care!\u003cbr\u003e5 More Horse, Less Code\u003cbr\u003e6 Tea Time\u003cbr\u003e7 My Age, in Minutes and Seconds\u003cbr\u003e8 Don't Know You\u003cbr\u003e9 See You There\u003cbr\u003e10 Equine End of Life\u003cbr\u003e11 Dead Dog!\u003cbr\u003e12 Outro\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003estreet date 8\/7\/2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45112384422088,"sku":"9362299012609","price":78.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4519186-3609207.jpg?v=1781027982","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/pre-order-media-puzzle-new-racehorse-purple-vinyl","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
