Aug 01, 2019 Starcrawler By Christopher Roberts

Los Angeles quartet Starcrawler have announced a new album, Devour You, and shared its first single, “Bet My Brains,” via a video for the track. They have also announced some tour dates. Devour You is due out October 11 via Rough Trade. Check out the Jellyclaw-directed “Bet My Brains” video below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Starcrawler consists of vocalist Arrow de Wilde (daughter of music photographer Autumn de Wilde, who took the band’s press photos), guitarist/vocalist Henri Cash, bassist Tim Franco, and drummer Austin Smith. Devour You is the follow-up to the band’s self-titled debut. Nick Launay (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, L7) produced the album, which was recorded at Sunset Studios.

“With this album, I want people to put it on and feel excited, and hopefully get goosebumps. I always want there to be a dramatic response,” says de Wilde in a press release.

Of “Bet My Brains,” de Wilde had this to say: “That song came from thinking about the tunnel people in New York and Vegas and the Catacombs in France, and the underground village of people who live in the sewers of the L.A. River. I was fascinated with the fact that there is a whole other world happening right under our feet.”

Cash adds: “Arrow and I hadn’t even talked about it yet, but I’d already written something about the same thing-about how these people’s eyes adapt to pitch-blackness, and they end up going crazy from never seeing the sunlight.”
