Ahead of the release of new album Sonic Citadel on October 11th, the duo have shared defiantly poppy single "Hüsker Dön't". The track squeezes Lightning Bolt's auditory chaos into a verse-chorus structure and features drummer/vocalist Brian Chippendale's clearest and most personal lyrics.

According to Chippendale, "The lyrics are a sort of letter from beyond the grave to my son. I thought it would be a cool thing for him to discover later on. An Easter egg. Just a love letter."
