Hold onto your headphones—Brendan Angelides just dropped a announcement that’s about to shake up your summer. This Tuesday, July 28th, the producer announced his upcoming album set for release on August 14th via Ancestor. To kick the door wide open, he unleashed a blistering, mind-bending reimagining of David Bowie’s iconic “I’m Afraid of Americans”—and he brought System of a Down’s legendary frontman, Serj Tankian, along for the ride.
It’s an absolute warp into another dimension.
Angelides pulls you into a surreal universe built on intriguing, hypnotic notes and trippy, psychedelic melodies. The track slowly builds a dark atmosphere before hitting you with industrial soundscapes that transport you straight to a dystopian skyline.
Then comes the spark: a driving, hypnotic half-chanted, half-rapped vocal delivery elevated by pulsing bass synths that crank the tension up to a 10. When the chorus hits and “I’m Afraid of Americans” is chanted over the heavy production, the energy is pure fire.
Mark your calendars for August 14th, because if this single is any indication, the full album is going to be a wild ride:
