The Black Angels Announce Fall Tour



The Black Angels are excited to announce a fall headlining tour in support of their latest release,Phosphene Dream, out now on Blue Horizon. The tour kicks off in Houston, TX on October 13th and concludes in Nashville, TN on November 5th. Tickets go on-sale on August 5th. The New York Timesrecently caught the band headlining 4Knots Festival, noting the Black Angels "play psychedelic rock as if the 1960s never ended, and they are absolute masters of it."

It has been a busy summer for the Black Angels, with appearances at Bonnaroo and Fuji Rock in Japan, on MTV's 120 Minutes and NPR's World Cafe, and an Australian tour. The band also hosted their ever-growing Austin Psych Fest for its fourth and highest attended year yet. This tour follows an incredibly successful spring headlining tour, selling out over 20 of the dates. Earlier, the Black Angels set out on co-headlining tour with Black Mountain in support of Phosphene Dream, which BBC declared "rock album of the year, if anyone's counting."

Phosphene Dream marks a huge leap forward for The Black Angels. It was produced and mixed by Dave Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother) in Los Angeles, a far stretch from the cozy Austin studios that delivered their first two records. This new one presents a fresh take on the neo-Psychedelic movement they've been at the forefront of for years.
