Genrationals Debut “Gold Silver Diamond” With Nylon
Generationals Unleash “Gold Silver Diamond” Video w/ NYLON
National Headlining Tour Starts Today!
4th Studio Album Alix Out Now
“It looks at life’s ties that bind and searches for ways to chill and not fight every battle.”
– NPR
“a compendium of sparky, falsetto and synth-driven indie-pop […] Like MGMT before they fell down a psych-K-hole” – VICE’s Noisey
“Think of it as an ambient electro soundtrack to the segue from day to night.” – Esquire
“ …sounds even better in 85-degree weather.” – USA Today
New Orleans’ Generationals have released their highly anticipated fourth studio album Alix, an immediate classic out now via Polyvinyl Records. Comprised of band members and friends since high school Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer and produced by Richard Swift (The Black Keys, The Shins, Foxygen), the new album gives a tangible sense of the co-captains’ history, revealing itself as perhaps the band’s most confident record yet.
Built up with layers of rhythm, computer noises, RZA beats and poppy vocals, Alix is a good-smelling, subtly sexy, catchy-or-die blend of time-warp senselessness. In keeping with the playfully dreamlike record, the duo has unleashed the video for “Gold Silver Diamond” with NYLON, which sees the band as celestial bodies observing space dwellers, offering an otherworldly take on an already instantly infectious track. “Gold Silver Diamond” is available HERE, and we encourage you to post and share!
Generationals recently announced a headlining North American tour in support of the release of Alix. The tour kicks off tonight in Houston, and support on the run will be provided by Arum Rae, Springtime Carnivore and Lowell.
