Last February, amid a slew of collaborations, Sam Gendel released Fresh Bread a towering, 52-track double LP. Today, he's announced that record's follow-up, Superstore, and shared three of its 34 songs with the listening public. Mastered by Matthewdavid McQueen, the album is adorned with original drawings by Marcella Cytrynowicz and features musical contributions from four of Gendel's friends, though the vast majority of the project finds him working alone.

"Blueblackred" and "La Guerra Di Pierro," which arrived today, are two such solo singles — the former a minute-long jazz miniature centering horns that squeal like rusty breaks, the latter a slightly longer slurry of glitchy Italian speech, triumphant acoustic guitar, and some jarring, disjunct drum-like sounds. "Gu Shi," also out now, features Philippe Melanson on "e-percussion" and Blake Mills on synth guitar, each adding his own eccentricities to the track's off-kilter funk aesthetic.
