Long-standing Canadian NFOP favorite
Terror Bird aka Nikki Never plus whoever wants to play with her are gonna release another LP this coming Monday via
Adagio830, named
Secret Rituals,
as reported before. It's the follow-up to last year's excellent
Human Culture and gathers nine songs, some of which have already been put out as limited 7 inch singles in 2011 as well, including the absolute standout
"She Kissed Me (And I Fell Ill)", probably Terror Bird's best tune so far, alongside a couple of new songs. Below, take a listen to one of those new tracks, the fabulous album closer "Cult of Man", another perfect reminder of Nikki Never's distinct and unsurpassed knack for lush and opulent, dramatic chamber pop.

Secret Rituals now

Also on Monday, May 7, Terror Bird will start another extensive European Tour, which will bring them to Berlin on two consecutive nights, June 7 (at
33 RPM) and June 8 (at
Death Disco). Check the rest of the dates
