“Black Masses” is the newest single from NYC songwriter Adam Lytle, from his sophomore solo album Altars. Northern Transmissions listed it as “Song Of The Day” and Post-Punk shared its gonzo 16mm video by Douglas K Horton alongside an interview with Adam. While this is the second record under Adam’s name, it’s the fourth record he & I have worked on together (dating back to Wild Leaves and Quicksilver Daydream), and it was a delight to dig as deep as we did here. The album (and this song in particular) shows both the songwriting chops that Adam has developed, as well as his openness to collaborative experimentation across the record. We recorded this song live with his band at Figure 8 (Cameron Kapoor- electric guitar, William Logan- drums, Kevin Copeland- bass), with additional synth & piano by me and harmony vocals by Kristina Moore before I mixed & mastered the album at Studio Windows. I had a blast playing on and shaping this album with Adam, and it’s some of his best work yet. Altars is out May 2.
