Brooklyn garage-psych trio Acid Dad have announce their sophomore album Take It From The Dead, due June 11, 2021 via Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society. To ring in the announcement, the band has shared the video for the album’s first single “RC Driver.” Watch the video below…
“‘RC Driver’ is about how I wish I raced cars for a living,” says Acid Dad’s Vaughn Hunt. “All I wanna do is go fast and do stunts. I grew up near a lake, so jet skis are the next closest thing. Ain’t nothing like rippin’ a supercharged Sea-Doo going 90mph on pure glass, baby.
“Webb, our visual artist, and I got inspired and started digging for 80’s and 90’s jet-ski commercials,” he continues. “We distorted and chopped them up into a vhs color trip using a combination of digital and analog feedback.”
Take It From The Dead is a co-release between Brooklyn’s Greenway Records and psych powerhouse LEVITATION’s label The Reverberation Appreciation Society.
