OFF! are back this year with their first new album in eight years. Free LSD is out September 30 via Fat Possum. Once again, they’ve got a new album cover from Raymond Pettibon. The follow-up to 2014’s Wasted Years is led by the new single “War Above Los Angeles,” which arrives today with a new music video starring the Jesus Lizard’s David Yow, Don Nguyn, Chloe Dykstra, James Duval, and Dead Kennedys’ D.H. Peligro. Watch it below.
The band’s lineup on the album features Keith Morris (Black Flag and Circle Jerks) and Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides) with new drummer Justin Brown (Thundercat, Flying Lotus) and new bassist Autry Fulbright II (…And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead). Saxophonist Jon Wahl (Claw Hammer) also contributes to the album, which the announcement notes as having an “experimental flair” to OFF!’s typical sound.
“After making music for as long as I have, it was time to use a palette that includes lime green, turquoise, and magenta instead of the typical colors and shades that were involved in all of the other breakneck and car chase scenarios,” Morris said in a statement. “Miles Davis with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters as opposed to Milo Goes to College.” The video is a taste of a feature film, which is also called Free LSD.
