Ruby De Anda to Release Single CLAY MELTING ON OUR BACKS

Rudy De Anda is at the forefront of a genre-bending sonic melting pot in Long Beach and will release Delay, Cadaver of a Day on June 24 via Porch Party Records. Today, the LA Record debuts "Clay Melting on Our Backs" calling it, "a psychedelic prog-pop epic somewhere between Tame Impala, Television, early Jane's Addiction and even Pink Floyd-really, this is more a landscape than a song, but don't worry because there's plenty of brightly colored lights to help you find your way through it."

Delay, Cadaver of a Day was recorded at Jazz Cats Studios (Crystal Antlers, Day Wave, Hanni El Khatib) and is a brutally honest, gritty, and loud representation of Rudy De Anda's auditory range. It weaves sweeping melodicism with a dynamic interplay of soul and punk-rock and showcases the darker side of the Californian musician.

Inspired by The Velvet Underground, dissonance, and shoe-gaze, Delay, Cadaver of a Day conjures up imagery of Fellini stumbling upon the city of Long Beach, and goes from optimism to mystery almost immediately. "It's like a black and white film shot in present time," offers De Anda about the album. "It's the soundtrack to a Criterion Collection piece based in LA with more surrealistic notes, feelings, and vibes."

Rudy De Anda's live show is backed by a rotating cast of friends who are part of other notable projects including Crystal Antlers, DeLux and Meow Twins. The band has a run of tour dates coming up including a performance at Brouweri West this weekend with Mike Watt. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
