What appeared to be an April Fools prank yesterday has turned out to be real.

Frank Zappa’s final album Dance Me This will be released this year, Jam Base reports. According to an email sent from the Zappa Family Trust, it is ” “the last title FZ finished in 1993 along with Trance-Fusion; the last chapter in his Master Work, Civilization, Phase III; and of course, The Rage & The Fury, The Music of Edgard Varèse.” It is cited as his 100th album.

Though this news was released on April 1st, the news has been confirmed by Zappa’s family along with a preorder. Zs Jam Base points out Dance Me This was alluded to by Zappa in a 1993 interview with Guitarist Magazine, “And what I’m working on right at the moment is a Synclavier album called Dance Me This, which is designed to be used by modern dance groups. It’s probably not going to come out until next year.” Frank Zappa died of prostate cancer a few months later.

Take a look at the artwork for Dance Me This below and preorder it here.
