The Meat Puppets are back with their twelfth studio disc Sewn Together which is the band's second post-reunion album.

The new disc was written by Curt Kirkwood and recorded on vintage analog gear at the Saltmine studio in Mesa, Ariz. Curt also produced the disc with the help of his son Elmo. The LA Times describes the album as mixing "the Meat Puppets' heavy-rock free-flights with speckled shades of intimate country-folk."
