Back in May, Angel Du$t unveiled the singles “Very Aggressive” and “Love Slam,” both included on the upcoming album. They’ve unleashed another ripper with “Space Jam.” In all of 99 seconds, frontman Justice Tripp and company check all the boxes: mosh inducing slam chords, a thrash-inspired breakdown, an open drum break (complete with bass solo), and melody galore.

Regarding the sonic vision behind Angel Du$t, Tripp offered up the following in a new interview with Stereogum. “The name Angel Du$t was the idea that there were bands in the ’80s that were trying to write pop music, pop-rock, but they were on PCP,” he said. “Fools were smoking angel dust heavy in the ’80s and it just made them play crazy. We were like, that’s the theme. We’re gonna make pop-rock songs and play ’em really fast. That’s really the overall musical theme.”

Tripp himself handled the production on BRAND NEW SOUL, with Paul Mercer engineering and Rob Schnapf and Steve Wright behind the mixing. It’s the first Angel Du$t LP to feature the band’s current lineup of Daniel Star and Steve Marino on guitar, Zechariah Ghostribe on bass, and Thomas Cantwell on drums (though longtime members Daniel Fang and Patrick McCrory  — both of Turnstile — still appear on select songs).

“While I say that I wrote the songs and I produced it, it might sound like it’s like my record, but it’s just not the case,” Tripp said. “Everybody really made it something special and I’m grateful for my team. Obviously there’s a layer of me in everything that I do but Angel Du$t is collaborative, spiritually. Without some collaborative element, it just wouldn’t be Angel Du$t.”
