From the band...
Nearly 20 years after its humble beginning, the journey of Fucked Up’s ever evolving Zodiac series begins its towering conclusion with “Grass Can Move Stones,” a monumental 10 part finale beginning with the album “Year of The Goat.”
Four and a half years on from their last entry “Year of The Horse,” Grass Can Move Stones will encompass the final three entries into the series; Goat, Monkey and Rooster, telling one connected story over three albums, an almost five-hour musical voyage through their varied styles and influences, that will revisit and recontextualise elements from the previous 9 zodiac entries as entirely new music.
The 10 sides of music will be released serially over the course of the year starting with Year Of The Goat, Year of The Monkey in Spring 2026, and concluding with Year Of The Rooster in autumn 2026. Rooster’s release will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the first release in the series, 2006’s “Year of the Dog”. Each entry will here on our Bandcamp, followed by a vinyl pre-order for release on the longstanding home of Fucked Up’s Zodiac releases, Tankcrimes Records.
Grass Can Move Stones tells the story of Monkey and Good Goat, two young friends who embark on a journey of self discovery, encountering gods, magical creatures, and dangers along the way, loosely following the narrative of the fundamental Journey to the West, written in the 16th century by Wu Cheng'en. The story also charts the career of the band, whose search for a musical home has led them through a varied and complex discography over the past 25 years.
