Washington, D.C.‘s Priests have announced a new album, The Seduction of Kansas, and shared a video for its first single, the album’s title track. The post-punk band have also announced some tour dates. Check out the video for “The Seduction of Kansas” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as their tour dates.

Priests’ core lineup is drummer Daniele Daniele, vocalist Katie Alice Greer, and guitarist G.L. Jaguar. For this album they were joined in the studio by multi-instrumentalist Janel Leppin.
