DEL JUDAS: "country-goth" enigma announces new single "Angela"; first new music in six years
The solo project of NYC musician Charlie Schmid, Del Judas melted hearts in 2018 with his debut album, Deity, a dark, cinematic slice of gothic Americana, released on Primal Architecture, the label owned by Josh Strawn of Azar Swan and Blacklist.
Post-Punk.com called that album “the soundtrack to a lonely drive out west… lovingly giving nods to crooning melodies of Johnny Cash, Chris Isaak, Peter Murphy.”
Invisible Oranges stated: "Schmid’s voice is rendered in a Chris Isaak-like croon... A slow, nocturnal drive down the dark side of memory lane.
Coming Friday, March 15th, new single “Angela” is the first new Del Judas music in six years.
Schmid teases the following info: "I would characterize the new material as the outcome of a psychic rebirth... The upcoming material has some dark undertones of course, but ultimately reveals itself as more playful and revelatory. Now I sing professionally as a crooner for an entertainment company and play guitar and percussion for private events as well. That's how I earn my living. I can say with confidence that dressing up in a gold blazer and singing the shit out of Frank Sinatra has forged a new version of me."
This week, he appeared on the great Vinyl & Vision podcast, to discuss his return: https://www.psychicstatic.net/podcast/episode/1f3ea4e9/vandv-episode-115-charlie-schmiddel-judas-and-chris-isaaks-silvertone
