Published on Thursday, June 27, 2013
Vagrant Records recently announced they had signed Black Joe Lewis and would release the group’s new album Electric Slave on August 27th.

Black Joe Lewis have unveiled the track listing and album art for their brand new full-length LP, Electric Slave, to be released on August 27 on Vagrant Records. Check out the album art above and the track listing below. You can listen to the album’s opening track “Skulldiggin” at the link here:

“Skulldiggin” was hailed by Consequence of Sound as “a deafening first shot in the band’s war against technology-induced devolution. Over the mortar fire of crashing cymbals and the bombastic wail of a ferocious guitar, Lewis screams and shouts about mind control. And when his voice gets swallowed up by the feedback, it’s an intriguing extension of the anti-technology commentary.”
Most of Electric Slave was produced by GRAMMY award winner Stuart Sikes (White Stripes, Cat Power, Modest Mouse) and recorded at Church House Studios in Austin, TX. Three of the new tracks (“Skulldiggin,” “Dar Es Salaam,” “My Blood Ain’t Runnin’ Right”) were recorded and produced by John Congleton (Explosions in the Sky, St. Vincent, Okkervil River) at Elmwood Studios in Dallas.
The band will tour supporting Electric Slave beginning in September, playing a number of shows along the east coast including a show at New York’s Terminal 5 on September 26. For complete itinerary, please see below.
