DC-based indie soul band Oh He Dead has announced the arrival of their eagerly anticipated third studio album, Ugly, due via their own Wally Baba Records on Friday, August 23.
The “shadow side” and follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Pretty, Ugly is heralded by the release of the album’s provocative first single, “Strange Love.” A blast of technicolor on a wave of sultry synths, the track is told from the POV of a sex worker who has fallen in love with her john.
“Strange Love” is one of the new songs Oh He Dead performs on their Audiotree performance. The appearance also features two other songs off of the soon-to-be-released Ugly: “Is It My Love,” and “The Foreigner.” Audiotree called the performance “a firecracker explosion of euphoric pop, the likes of which you’ve never seen.”
Oh He Dead will celebrate the impending arrival of Ugly with a busy live schedule that includes headline shows, festival appearances, and dates alongside The Dip. Highlights include a special hometown album release event set for Washington, DC’s The Atlantis on Friday, August 23.
