The Dandy Warhols Announce 'ROCKMAKER' Album, Share New Single with Frank Black

Portland's poutiest band have announced a new album, as the Dandy Warhols have detailed ROCKMAKER, due out March 15 through Sunset Boulevard Records. They're previewing it with the new single titled "Danzig with Myself," featuring Frank Black of the Pixies.

As indicated by the title, ROCKMAKER is said to place an emphasis on heavy guitars. "Sometimes we have a very focused idea of what we want," said frontman Courtney Taylor-Taylor in a statement. "It's generally what we want somebody else to make but since they never do, we have to. It has a very specific sound. There aren't a lot of heavy guitar records currently coming out that we like, so that was the impetus for Rockmaker."

In keeping with Taylor-Taylor's promise of 'heavy raw punk and metal guitar riffs," new single "Danzig with Myself" rides an ultra-fuzzy four-chord progression, with Frank Black (billed here as Black Francis) contributing the distorted surf guitar leads.

The album was mixed by Jagz Kooner (Primal Scream, Massive Attack) and mastered by Keith Tenniswood (of Two Lone Swordsmen). It includes 2023 single "Summer of Hate."

To promote the album, the Dandies will tour North America this March, making a stop in Toronto on March 12. Scroll past "Danzig with Myself" below to see the schedule, along with the ROCKMAKER tracklist.
