LA Priest is back with details of his first album in five years, GENE, as well as sharing the woozy lead single "What Moves".
"What Moves" is the first new single from LA Priest since teaming up with Connan Mockasin as Soft Hair in 2016.
He says of the new offering, "This song asks 'what moves...?' 20 times. The answer is in the guitar solo!"
GENE is LA Priest's second LP, after his 2015 debut Inji. The new album title comes from a brand-new analog drum machine that LA Priest, aka Sam Dust, aka Sam Eastgate, visualised and built alone.
The new record features production from Erol Alkan.
Tracklist:
- Beginning
- Rubber Sky
- What Moves
- Peace Lily
- Open My Eyes
- Sudden Thing
- Monochrome
- What Do You See
- Kissing of the Weeds
- Black Smoke
- Ain’t No Love Affair
"What Moves" is out now. LA Priest's GENE album lands via Domino on 24 April, and is available to pre-order now. He plays London's Peckham Audio on 26 March. Find out more.
