Following the release of maximalist single “Into The Sky” earlier this month, LA Priest aka Sam Eastgate, today announces news of his fourth album Into The Sky – set for release on August 28th. Into The Sky was co-written, co-produced and mixed by Eastgate’s old friend Alex Ridha - aka Boys Noize – and together they have fashioned a set of laser-guided pop songs on which Eastgate sings of love and liberation, swathed in pulsing electronics.
Alongside the album announce, LA Priest has shared new song, the cyber ballad “Ever No” with its gentle synth undulations and Eastgate proclaiming: “Good God, I love you more than you could ever know / Good God it makes me high and shakes me to my core.“
The video for “Ever No” was shot and directed by Joe Bird Jr in Joshua Tree and shows the creation of the synth rider who featured in the “Into The Sky” video.
“I’m not sure which way I’m going, but it’s exciting – that’s the spirit of this album,” says Sam Eastgate of his latest LA Priest record, Into The Sky. Followers of LA Priest over the past decade might say that this has also been the case with his first three albums, Inji, Gene and Fase Luna – an intrepid trilogy that cast Eastgate as a nomadic sorcerer whose homebrewed psychedelia and inventive songwriting led to a string of cult hits.
