Angel Du$t are back swinging with a fresh punch to the jaw in the form of new single and video “DU$T“, and it lands with zero subtlety and maximum intent. The track arrives as another teaser for their new album “Cold 2 The Touch“, a 26-minute blast of eclectic, hard-hitting chaos due out 13 February via Run For Cover Records.
“DU$T” comes hot on the heels of earlier singles “Cold 2 The Touch“, “The Knife and The Beat“, and it might be the clearest snapshot yet of where Angel Du$t’s head is at right now. It opens on acoustic guitars and Justice Tripp’s straight-up yearning croon, like they’re about to slide into some gentle late-night confession. Then the whole thing detonates: blast beats, blown-out guitars, and a climactic breakdown that stomps and shakes in equal measure.
That’s the tightrope they’re walking across this new era, melody and mood welded to sheer ferocity. It’s aggressive rock and roll that still wants to sing to you, not just scream at you.” Cold 2 The Touch” is being billed as proof that Angel Du$t’s drive to make authentically aggressive rock and roll has no limit, and DU$T absolutely backs that up.
The album follows 2023’s “Brand New Soul“, a record that drew praise from fans and critics and clearly lit a fire under the band rather than letting them coast. Instead of stretching out, they’ve gone lean and mean: 26 minutes, no fat, no filler, just that weird Angel Du$t blend of tuneful and unhinged.
Alongside the album announcement, the band have also lined up a “tremendous” North American tour, underlining that this whole “Cold 2 The Touch” chapter is built to be lived loud in sweaty rooms, not just streamed in the background. Details in the original press release.
