Free Kitten, the ‘super-group’ featuring three queens of noise-rock, have reformed to release their first album in over ten years.

Kim Gordon and Julie Cafritz, of Sonic Youth and Pussy Galore respectively, are re-joined by Boredoms, OOIOO and UFO or Die stalwart Yoshimi P-We for Inherit; the follow-up to 1997 full-length Sentimental Education.

The new record will arrive on the 20th of May through Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace imprint – here’s what’s on it:

'Erected Girl'
'Surf's Up'
'Sea Sick'
'Free Kitten On The Mountain'
'Roughshod'
'Help Me'
'The Poet'
'Billboard'
'Bananas'
'Monster Eye'
'Sway'

Connoisseurs may note the absence of original bassist Mark Ibold, also of the ‘on hiatus’ Pavement. But Joe Mascis makes a surprise cameo.

That picture, taken from Pitchfork, is a still pulled from the video currently being shot for 'Free Kitten on the Mountain'.
