Blaqk Audio are back with a new album– actually, two new albums. The electronic duo, which brings together AFI frontman Davey Havok and guitarist Jade Puget, are releasing their new album, “Beneath the Black Palms,” via BlaqkNoise in two parts.

“Beneath the Black Palms — Side A” is out now, offering five new tracks. The full album, including all five of the songs on “Side A,” will arrive on Aug 21. Blaqk Audio recorded, produced and mixed the collection.

“Beneath the Black Palms is an affirmation, exaltation, and momentary illumination of rich, arcane shadows fortified by blinding and rapturous light,” Havok said in a statement. “Musically a bird sister of Only Things We Love, our latest record more deeply traverses our EBM and futrurepop roots while also extending into moods unheard from us before. I am deeply excited to have the opportunity to share it with all.”

Blaqk Audio have also released a new music video for the song “Hiss” off the set, which may be viewed via YouTube below.

“‘Hiss’ is a lovely slice of noisy darkness,” Puget said in a statement. “Listen closely and you can hear the susurration of the palms.”

“Beneath the Black Palms” is Blaqk Audio’s follow-up to 2019’s “ONLY THINGS WE LOVE.”
