Slayyyter has announced Wor$t Man In America, a nine-track album scheduled for Dec. 4 through RECORDS/Columbia. It includes the previously released singles “brand new chanel$” and “crank 2”; the album’s remaining details and the exact relationship between its songs and her earlier release have not been fully described.

Slayyyter has announced Wor$t Man In America, a nine-track album set for release Dec. 4 through RECORDS/Columbia. The project includes the recent singles “brand new chanel$” and “crank 2” and is described in press materials as a companion to her March album, Wor$t Girl In America.

The album’s announced tracklist comprises “brand new chanel$,” “crank 2,” “$$$,” “nekromantik!,” “i think he’s got a girl,” “hey boyyy,” “parking lot,” “perfect woman” and “*hymn*.” The announcement describes the nine songs as all new material, while identifying the first two as singles released ahead of the album.

Press materials say some songs on the record “act as direct inversions,” while others “revisit familiar ideas from an entirely new angle.” The statement does not specify which tracks fall into either category. Stereogum reported the album announcement and described the new release as a “brother album” to Wor$t Girl In America.

Slayyyter’s schedule also includes a performance supporting Turnstile at the University of Kansas’ Day On The Hill on Oct. 6, followed by an appearance at Brazil’s Zig Festival that weekend, according to the report. She recently contributed a version of Turnstile’s “Birds” to Never Enough: Versions, a release featuring artists including Elton John, Hayley Williams, Blood Orange, Alex G, Dying Fetus and Julien Baker. Slayyyter debuted her rendition live in Atlanta last month, Stereogum reported.

A Companion to March’s Album

Press materials describe a relationship between Wor$t Man In America and Slayyyter’s March album, Wor$t Girl In America. They say some songs on the new record invert ideas from the earlier release, while others revisit familiar ideas from a different angle.

The confirmed details are nine tracks, a Dec. 4 release date and two songs already identified as singles. The announcement describes the album as a companion, but does not establish that it is a sequel, a response or a set of alternate versions.

The release follows Slayyyter’s appearances with Turnstile and at Zig Festival, as well as her contribution to the band’s versions project. The source report does not announce further details about the album’s promotion or live presentation.

From Wor$t Girl to Wor$t Man

Slayyyter released Wor$t Girl In America in March. Stereogum said the album topped its list of the year’s best albums so far; that is the publication’s assessment, not a chart ranking or an industry award. The new record’s title and the press description connect it to that earlier release, but the available information does not explain the project’s concept in detail.

The upcoming album’s two named advance tracks are “brand new chanel$” and “crank 2.” The other seven titles have been announced, but the source material does not say whether additional singles, videos or promotional appearances are planned before Dec. 4. The record is listed as a release through RECORDS/Columbia.

Separately, Slayyyter appeared on Turnstile’s Never Enough: Versions, contributing a rendition of “Birds.” Stereogum described the project as featuring a wide range of artists and reported that she performed her version in Atlanta last month. That collaboration is distinct from Wor$t Man In America; the report does not say that the Turnstile appearance is part of the album campaign.

“Some songs “act as direct inversions,” while others “revisit familiar ideas from an entirely new angle.””

Album Details Still Pending

The Dec. 4 date, label and nine-track list are given in the announcement, but the source report does not provide an album cover, producer credits, recording details or further information about the songs. It is also unclear whether “brand new chanel$” and “crank 2” will be the only tracks released before the full album.

The press description does not explain what “direct inversions” means for particular songs or clarify whether the album tells a continuous story. No information is provided about whether Slayyyter plans to perform the new material at her upcoming appearances. The source identifies the release as scheduled; it does not report that the album is already available.

Release Date and Upcoming Sets

The next stated milestone is Slayyyter’s scheduled appearance supporting Turnstile at the University of Kansas’ Day On The Hill on Oct. 6, followed by Zig Festival in Brazil that weekend, according to Stereogum. The report does not say whether either performance will include songs from the new album.

Wor$t Man In America is scheduled for Dec. 4 on RECORDS/Columbia, and the source report says it is available for preorder. Further announcements may provide information about the album’s production, promotional plans and how its songs connect to Wor$t Girl In America; none of those details are confirmed in the material provided.
