The Black Angels have shared the second track from their upcoming album ‘Death Song’, out on April 21st via Partisan Records. You can take a listen to I’d Kill For Her via YouTube below.
Produced by Phil Ek (Father John Misty, Fleet Foxes, The Shins), ‘Death Song’ features some of the heaviest music these psych rockers have ever put to wax – slow-burning, menacing fuzz earworms meditating on the realities of society and devotion. The album’s opening track, Currency, has already earned raves from the New York Times to NPR Music, who say “heavy psych rarely feels as fresh as it does with The Black Angels”.

On April 22nd, a special limited edition release of ‘Death Song’ will be made available in honor of Record Store Day, including the new album on two glow-in-the-dark vinyl LPs and packaging printed entirely in blacklight-reactive ink. Sneak peek here: https://youtu.be/aV_l83KLQ2Q
