“Everything I have and everything I am is from hardcore music. If you see me playing love songs on an acoustic guitar, you just saw hardcore. You don’t get to decide,” Justice Tripp recently shared on whatever we’re not calling Twitter. “Racecar”, the latest preview from his transcendental hardcore pop band Angel Du$t’s forthcoming album, BRAND NEW SOUL, shuts down any responses you might have on that before you can even start. Whereas early previews from the effort have heard the Baltimore crew once again entangling themselves with their core pit-pleasing aesthetics, this listen does what Tripp and company do best in going beyond and getting weird in merging lanes with psychedelic vibrations and the high of flower punk pollen, add in the uncanny guest vocals from Fizzy, singer for the New York power-pop band LOOSEY. “They’re quick to point the finger at me / She’s quick to point the finger at me / Let’s go.” On these streets, Angel Du$t paints the lanes, and it just so happens theirs are oddly designed and blur together in color and energy.
