The mind-bending duo of Die Antwoord are back, announcing their fourth album Mount Ninja & Da Nice Time Kid to be released this September.

News of the full-length has arrived with ‘Banana Brain’, their latest single which combines hard dance production and unconventional bars for a relentless rave anthem. Mount Ninja & Da Nice Time features a vast array of guests from Jack Black to Dita von Teese to Sen Dog of Cypress Hill fame, while track names include ‘Wings On My Penis’ and ‘Fat Faded Fuck Face’. There’s also ‘U Like Boobies?’ which may or may not be a rhetorical question.

It was last February that Die Antwoord brought their bizarre live show to Australia as part of the final Future Music Festival, so let’s hope that there are Australian tour dates on the horizon after Mount Ninja & Da Nice Time Kid is released. In the meantime, see the tracklist below and listen to the  full finished product come September 16. If your Tuesday is feeling rather sluggish, ‘Banana Brain’ should give you a quick shot of adrenaline:

When Ninji, ¥o-landi and God hooked up with The Black Goat and started recording Die Antwoord’s 4th album around 2 years ago the mood of the tracks we started banging out was rough and tough and mischievious and wild and hard and dark and at that point were going to call this album RATS RULE, cos in life you get the champions and the underdogs and in our minds we sometimes feel like 1 level below the underdogs in this fucked up pop world, but we also know our time is comming, and soon we gonna take over this whole bitch. So anyway, then we made some more tracks and the core of the album stayed all dark and ratty but a new layer oozed out around our dark core that was kinda mental and lunatic and random and juicy and 2 much fun and so we changed the name of our album to WE HAVE CANDY. Then recently while we was finishing up this album another layer exploded out of our dark wild juicy core like a giant supernatural mega aura and suddenly our album was so epic and sometimes vulnerable and sometimes sweet and romantic and so brave and full of mystery and win, like when you going through hell, and the mission feels impossible, but you not allowed to fail, and all you can do is keep your chin up and keep going, then when you least expect it you emerge from this dark never-ending hole, and… you made it! And you can’t believe it, and you’ve changed inside and you’re better and stronger and calmer and more fun than you were before you journeyed merrily in2 hell. And as we stepped out into the light, a little bruised and battered, but still ok, we blinked and tried to focus then looked at each other and laughed out loud. Then ¥o-landi said, “Why don’t we call the album MOUNT NINJI & DA NICE TIME KID?” And Ninji’s shoulders relaxed and he slumped back into his chair and said, “You a fuckin genius! I love you!” @prawn_star @djhitekisgod @djmuggs_the_black_goat_ Photography by @rossgarrett Album To Be Released September 16th Pre-Order Link In Bio
