Los Angeles doom boogie/dystopian punk/occult glam rockers Death Valley Girls have announced their third studio album Darkness Rains, out October 5 via Suicide Squeeze. The announcement arrives with the Iggy Pop-starring video for the fierce new single, ‘Disaster (Is What We’re After)’.

The video, directed by Kansas Bowling and shot on 16mm film, is a recreation of the famous Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger short film, but starring Iggy Pop, eating a burger, listening to Death Valley Girls (which he proudly proclaims at the end).

“We’re strong believers in opti-mysticism and connecting with people through rock n’ roll,” Death Valley Girls say of the cosmically fitting union of Iggy Pop starring in their new video. “Having Iggy dig our music was more than amazing for us. When Kansas told us she had a dream about recreating the Andy Warhol Eating a Hamburger short film but with Iggy starring for our music video, we were cautiously excited about the possibility. Next thing we know we’re in Miami with Iggy himself, and a rock n’ roll dream became reality!”

Gazelle Twin has released the video for ‘Hobby Horse’, the first single from her forthcoming album, Pastoral, out on Anti-Ghost Moon Ray on September 21. The video, directed by long-time collaborator Chris Turner, firmly puts the album’s themes – exhuming England’s rotten past and showing its ever-darkening present – into focus.

Elizabeth Bernholz aka Gazelle Twin, explains, 'Hobby Horse' is yet another fun-but-deranged experiment in an ever-growing catalogue of collaborations with director Chris Turner. We have a mutual appreciation for the uncanny - especially the kind tinged with a bit of ultra-violence. It's great working with someone who knows how to capitalise on every kind of "weird" there is, yet still managing to keep performance at the core.’

Gazelle Twin has announced a series of live performances, following the album’s live debut at Supersonic festival, that includes Rough Trade East on Thursday September 27.
