Self-proclaimed “Party God”, Andrew W.K., has announced the impending release of his fifth full-length studio rock album, ‘God Is Partying’. The long-awaited nine-track opus of maximalist rock grandeur is set for release on September 10, 2021.
According to the press release, ‘God Is Partying’ will see Andrew W.K “ransack the corners of the human psyche, reaching a triumphant apex in his catalog, 20 years after the release of his chart-topping 2001 full-length debut, I Get Wet. Emotive yet steadfast, ominous yet invigorating, God Is Partying embraces both the break-ups and break-downs of life, and ANDREW W.K. once again provides his audience with the perfect soundtrack to celebrate life in all its perplexing and euphoric intensity.”
Those looking for an early serving from the upcoming release, can have a listen to Andrew W.K.’s latest single ‘I’m In Heaven’, with accompanying Phem C. Palmer directed video. As the follow up to the colossal sonic success of the recently released ‘Babalon’, ‘I’m In Heaven’ offers a refreshingly dissonant and weighty dose of what’s to come on ‘God Is Partying’.
Discussing how they constructed the video’s visual language, director Phem C. Palmer said “A secret is no longer a secret if it isn’t being kept, and this is how we approached the spirit of meaning as it applies to the non-diegetic sound images in the ‘I’m In Heaven’ video.”
