Princess Goes: New Album Release Date + Music Video for "BLUR"

Earlier this year, Princess Goes — the buzzy band led by the charismatic showmanship and signature voice of vocalist, lyricist, musician and actor Michael C. Hall (Dexter, Six Feet Under, Lazarus) alongside keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen (Blondie, Cyndie Lauper) and drummer Peter Yanowitz (The Wallflowers, Morningwood) — announced their forthcoming LP, Come Of Age, out October 6 via SO In De Goot Recordings.

As a follow-up to the record's first single, "Shimmer," today, the trio shares a brand new music video for their second and most recent single, "Blur." The track itself opens with a classic Juno-106 synth drone, evoking the early 80s, and "flirting with the finality of its own fruition as layers of more synth, bass guitar and drums reveal themselves," as described by Matt Katz-Bohen. "Michael’s poignant, aching lyrics and melody go from soft to epic, culminating in an MGMT/Human League chorus of loving synth transcendence: Baby, I’m full grown now."

The forthcoming LP, Come Of Age, is the trio’s most accessible, yet innovative work to date, replete with songs that traverse a thrilling and often surprising sonic and lyrical landscape. There’s a clear cohesiveness to the 12 songs on the album that manage to be all at once catchy and intoxicating, soundtrack-y musicscapes for the ages, synth-heavy but multi-faceted.

The musical growth on Come Of Age was organic, and though onstage and on paper, they are a keyboards-drums-vocals band, this album is rife with guitar and bass, instruments that play a bigger role than they did on previous recordings. The band’s evolution is ongoing and often unearthly, spacy and provocative in the vein of Bowie’s Blackstar (David Bowie personally cast Hall to play the lead role of Thomas Newton in his final stage project – Lazarus on Broadway).

Stay tuned for Princess Goes' upcoming album, Come Of Age, out October 6.
