Rangda Share "Majnun," New Track Off Second Album, Formerly Extinct, Out 9/18



With the release date nearly upon us for Formerly Extinct, Rangda's next great tome (Empire Strikes Back, anyone?), we present "Majnun" as an offering.  Premiered yesterday on SPIN , the latest track from the wizards of psych is newfangled and shrouded by ancestral awakenings, boring deep into the layers of consciousness along the path to enlightenment. Like "Majnun," the full-length recordFormerly Extinct lives large -- no matter how small the arch overhead -- and is available for your discovery September 18th on Drag City.

"Desert-bleached, spiritually minded, guitar-strangling superdupergroup Rangda - that's Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), BenChasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and spazz-jazz freaktopus Chris Corsano - have returned for another round of Eastern-infected, fuzz-blustering Cormac McCarthycore...The Nels-on-peyote, coyboy Meshuggah head-knock of "Majnun," is built on an infectious ostinato that spirals heavenward into a sun-mugging cloud-shred breakdown." --Chris Weingarten, SPIN
