Overview
editOn May 18, 2016, Stereogum[1] premiered a new track from The Lifespan of a Moth, "The Absolute Center of a Pitch Black Heart".
On June 9, 2016, Decibel[2] premiered 16's video for "Peaches, Cream and the Placenta". Guitarist Bobby Ferry said of the track, "The song is a stressed-out walk down a well-trodden trail that we have been prancing down since the early '90s. The lyrics delicately touch with all thumbs on the subject of addictive personality sorcery that creates unintended helpless victims." The video was directed by longtime 16 collaborator and producer, Jeff Forrest.
