Tyler, the Creator, who has reportedly traveled back in time on no less than three occasions to “accidentally” kill his forebears (rendering his existence temporally paradoxical), has announced a new album, Wolf, which will be out April 2. Wolf will have three separate album covers, presumably one for each of the different timelines “created” by his willy-nilly jaunts through time, with the deluxe version featuring artwork by L.A. artist Mark Ryden. The album’s first video, for “Domo 23,” just dropped via the Odd Future website:
Further dispatches from the Odd Future camp consisted of garbled transmissions on the return of Odd Future’s Adult Swim show “Loiter Squad” on March 10, Tyler’s new Golf Wang clothing line, and something about time’s ability to be altered that ended up sounding kind of misogynistic. The clothing line will be available on the upcoming tour, which will find Tyler taking his space-time warping black hole of Steve Albini-infuriating mayhem around the US, Canada, and Europe beginning in March. No scientists could be reached for comment, but one imagines they all have their fingers crossed that Tyler manages to rewrite the laws of physics before heading out or else we are all probably doomed.
