You can hear a new song off Roky Erickson’s upcoming album True Love Cast Out All Evil today over at Pitchfork. The song is called “Goodbye Sweet Dreams” and, like the rest of the record, it is backed by Okkervil River and produced by the band’s Will Sheff. True Love Cast Out All Evil is Roky’s first album of new material in 14 years. The album includes found sound and archival recordings from the time Erickson spent confined at the Rusk State Hospital for the criminally insane and mentally ill in the early 70s. Anti- Records will release the LP in the United States on April 20, and the UK release will come on June 7 on the Chemikal Underground label.
To hear or download the new song, go to Pitchfork.
