Los Angeles’ Starcrawler have announced their sophomore album Devour You, will be relesed on October 11th via Rough Trade.
The new effort was produced by Nick Launay (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, L7) at Sunset Studios, a record that the band’s Arrow de Wilde says, “encapsulates all the blood, sweat, bruised knees, and broken fingers of a Starcrawler show… With this album, I want people to put it on and feel excited, and hopefully get goosebumps. I always want there to be a dramatic response.”
To kick off the album announcement, Starcrawler share new single + video “Bet My Brains” (watch the video below).
“That song came from thinking about the tunnel people in New York and Vegas and the Catacombs in France, and the underground village of people who live in the sewers of the L.A. River,” says de Wilde. “I was fascinated with the fact that there is a whole other world happening right under our feet.” Guitarist and vocalist Henri Cash adds: “Arrow and I hadn’t even talked about it yet, but I’d already written something about the same thing—about how these people’s eyes adapt to pitch-blackness, and they end up going crazy from never seeing the sunlight.”
