With the new Alan Vega album Mutator scheduled to drop April 23rd via Sacred Bones Records, the label has unveiled another single from the late, iconic singer titled ‘Filthy’.

Produced by Liz Lamere and Jared Artaud, ‘Filthy’ is a musical apocalyptic onslaught embodying some of the earlier synth-punk sounds of Alan Vega’s band Suicide as well as a bit of industrial. The haunting soundscape brilliantly compliments Vega’s cutting and dystopian vocal delivery which has been a key part of his lengthy musical career.

Touching on ‘Filthy’, Liz Lamere stated:

“Filthy’s anthemic zombie atmosphere challenges the listener to find the underlying message of hope that is always within Vega’s words and sound.”

Jared Artaud also mentioned:

“‘Filthy’ was the first song Liz and I started to mix on Mutator. It set into motion how to work on and produce the rest of the album. Sonically speaking, Alan never lost his edge with age. He kept his intensity and incessant drive for endless experimentation. Alan’s process was more like a visual artist working in sound rather than a traditional musician going into the studio to make records. At the heart of it all, Alan was a poet. His lyrics always hit hard and he was always pushing forward, trailblazing onto the next idea of his vision.”
