“It started with a riff that either sounded like Misfits or Danzig and then got slowed down,” explains Courtney Taylor-Taylor of The Dandy Warhols about their new single Danzig with Myself. Textured like a well-worn pair of burlap jeans, the track is taken from their upcoming album Rockmaker which will be released via Sunset Blvd. Records on March 15. “Over time, it became the working title that was just too good to replace,” he laughs at the play on words.
Featuring the inimitable Frank Black who adds a heavy dose of Pixies’ fuzzed-out surf guitar, Danzig with Myself screeches like a Chevy Nova on a bender. Careening perilously, courtesy of Peter Holmström’s guitar, anchored with a steady and heavy rhythm section from Zia McCabe’s deep bass and Brent DeBoer’s intent rhythm, Taylor-Taylor’s vocals keep laser-focused on the road.
