Lonnie Holley announces new album, MITH

Lonnie Holley has just announced a new album. The American experimental artist will be releasing MITH on September 21 via Jagjaguwar, and the first video to be released from the album is “I Woke Up in a Fucked-Up America.” The clip depicts Holley in a large loft with lots of American iconography (Statue of Liberty, etc.), while the song itself is a dark reflection on the country today, with shades of Gil Scott-Heron. Watch it below and take a look at the album’s tracklist. He’s also touring this summer, including dates with Animal Collective. Take a look at those below.
