Brother Dege (pronounced ‘deej'), the GRAMMY Award-nominated guitarist, singer and songwriter who merges his affinity for '70s era rock bands and Southern psych, returns with the graveyard Americana-infused album, Aurora (March 15, Prophecy Productions).

The first single and video from the nine-song album arrives today, with the clip for “Where the Black Flowers Grow” available to view here. The video was directed by Brian C. Miller Richard (“Lost Bayou,” “Shapeless”) and Emmy-Award nominated cinematographer, Natalie Kingston (“Black Bird,” “The Wolf of Snow Hollow”), featuring actress Tenea Intriago (“Overthinking with Kat & June,” “Castle Rock”).

Dege explains the themes behind Aurora: “It definitely deals with love, psychosis, and the dysfunctions that get repeated within these relationships and patterns of myself. I thought of it as an ouroboros—which is a snake that eats its own tail. In a relationship, you are swallowing your own tail and tail of your partner, because you blame them for some of it too. The Aurora resembles the spectral light of falling in love.”

Aurora is available for pre-order now (http://lnk.spkr.media/aurora), with the collection released as a Gatefold LP on both black vinyl and a limited-edition marbled black and gold vinyl, as well as CD and digital.

After quietly generating tens of millions of streams, earning widespread acclaim, and carving out a corner in pop culture history with a co-sign by none other than Quentin Tarantino, the Louisiana-based guitarist and singer Dege Legg pulls everyone into this lush musical world. An undercurrent of bluesy distortion tosses and turns in tectonic motion beneath bold hooks as his love for seventies and eighties rock bands funnels into a twisted 21st century take on Southern rock. He emerges out of this smoke with a vision without comparison, bringing grit and gusto in equal measure.
