“Where to go with that greed,” Mike D inveighs between mesmerizing slabs of relentless rhythm on ‘Crypto,’ the newest song from his forthcoming debut album, ‘Thank You,’ to be released August 28th via Capitol Records.
A spirited tongue-in-cheek meditation on fraud and greed, ‘Crypto’ is the fourth song to be released in advance of ‘Thank You’, an album that has been lauded in advance by The New York Times as “a searing, lo-fi blast of analog synthesizer noise and smashed industrial beats, bearing the influence of dub and the dystopian New York punk band Suicide.”
‘Thank You’ has previously been heralded by the “genre-defying banger” (GLIDE) of ‘Switch Up’, “the classic, bombastic, boisterously energetic” (OKAYPLAYER) ‘What We Got’, and the “buzzy, pensive, breakbeat-powered wall of acid rock” (RELIX) that is ‘True Colors’. The album is comprised of 13 servings of sonically inventive post-electronic grooves and hypnotic hooks that find Mike D’s unmistakable voice leading the listener through an aural playground that defies categorization.
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “embodied with the punk energy that led to his band’s early breakthrough,” the Mike D 5D touring band — featuring Mike, his sons Skyler and Davis Diamond, Eddie Ruscha, Will Graefe and Milo Ruscha — will return to US stages with a sold out show at August 30 at Boston’s Royale — just two days after ‘Thank You’ release — kicking off an itinerary featuring sold out stops in Washington DC and Asheville NC, headline dates in Atlanta GA and New York City, and an appearance at the Portola Music Festival in San Francisco.
