Baltimore, Marylandโs Angel Du$t have released NEVER ENDING GAMES, a new remix EP featuring reworked versions of their track โNever Ending Gameโ from Panda Bear and Lunice. Available now on all streaming platforms, the EP sees the two acclaimed artists / producers completely dismantling and rebuilding the standout track which was originally released on Angel Du$tโs 2020 EP LIL HOUSE.
Produced by Rob Schnapf (Kurt Vile, Elliott Smith), LIL HOUSE is available on all streaming platforms, and marks the first new music from Angel Du$t since the release of their celebrated 2019 LP, PRETTY BUFF.
The studio version of โNever Ending Gameโ finds Angel Du$t breezy but determined as they imbue their laid-back acoustics with sharpness. The track is joined by a Mason Mercer directed official music video which is streaming now on Angel Du$tโs YouTube channel. STEROGUM avowed, โThese are catchy, peppy, uptempo pop-rock songsโฆ itโs not hard to imagine them ending up in alt-rock radio rotation or soundtracking commercials,โ while FLOOD praised the EPโs โbreezy, acoustic-guitar-fronted punk.โ
Comprised of Justice Tripp (Vocals), Daniel Fang (Drums), Pat McCrory (Guitars/Vocals), Brendan Yates (Guitars/Vocals), and Jeff Caffey (Bass), Angel Du$t is a band averse to boundaries. Their Roadrunner Records debut LP, PRETTY BUFF, was produced by Will Yip and features the singles โBig Ass Love,โ โTake Away The Pain,โ โBang My Drum,โ and โOn My Way.โ The album earned the band critical acclaim with UPROXX attesting โthey somehow managed to pull off a 180-degree sonic overhaul with PRETTY BUFF, stripping back the raw aggression of their previous releases in favor of melodies and strong choruses.โ GQ declared, โItโs impossible not to smile and bounce around hearing it, the perfect album for defeating your seasonal depression,โ while HIGHSNOBIETY confirmed, โPunk has never been more alive with Angel Du$t tearing up the hardcore scene and continuing to push all of the boundaries.โ
Named an โArtist To Watch: 17 Alternative & Indie Breakouts for 2019โ by Billboard, Angel Du$tโs โBig Ass Loveโ was named one of โThe 20 Best Rock Songs Right Nowโ by The FADER who praised the track for its โFast-paced acoustic guitar chords, speedy vocals, and sunny melodies.โ STEREOGUM asserted โAngel Du$tโs ripping hardcore seems to have emerged even more melodicโฆ hurling forward with layers of percussion and a chunking acoustic guitar,โ while REVOLVER placed Angel Du$tโs PRETTY BUFF in their โ25 Best Albums of 2019โ recap.
