Angel Du$t have announced a new album, Brand New Soul, due September 8 via Pop Wig. It was recorded by Paul Mercer, mixed by Rob Schnapf and Steve Wright, and it’s the first Angel Du$t album that band leader Justice Tripp produced himself. It was made with the current Angel Du$t live band–guitarists Steve Marino (Bugg, Jacky Boy) and Daniel Star (Pillars of Ivory, The Answer), bassist Zechariah Ghostribe (Demand, Sliders), and Thomas Cantwell (Gouge Away, Hesitation Wounds, Axis)–with contributions from longtime contributors Daniel Fang and Pat McCrory (both also of Turnstile), as well as guest vocals from Mary Jane Dunphe (Vexx, CC Dust) and Citizen’s Mat Kerekes. “The band has always centered around me, but I’ve never written the music just for me,” Justice says. “It always felt like it was meant to be played by a band, I love the team effort. Angel Du$t isn’t about me–it’s about the spirit of rock music and the energy that that gives off.”
The album includes recent singles “Very Aggressive” and “Love Slam,” as well as the just-released “Space Jam.” This one’s a fast-paced, under-two-minute ripper that finds Angel Du$t in full-on punk mode, and it’s another great one. Check out the song and its Gnarlos Wright-directed video below.
Angel Du$t have also announced a lengthy North American tour, including shows with Candy, Restraining Order, Bib, Dazy, Loosey, Mary Jane Dunphe, Steve Marino, TV Star, Object of Affection, Missing Link, and 9 Million, varying by date.
The tour ends in Brooklyn on December 10 at Elsewhere Hall, and that show’s with Candy, Missing Link, and Loosey. All dates are listed below.
Candy released their great new LP Heaven Is Here on Relapse last year. Missing Link just released a new song (ft. Brody King of God’s Hate) on Triple B Records. Loosey recently put out a winter promo and their vocalist Fizzy just joined Angel Du$t on stage at Brooklyn’s Union Pool earlier this month.
