The Dead Tongues release new song “Dirt For A Dying Sun”
May 21, 2024 - By Psychic Hotline
Today The Dead Tongues, the western North Carolina-based songwriting project of Ryan Gusrafson, releases new single “Dirt for a Dying Sun.” From the forthcoming new record Body of Light, out this summer via Psychic Hotline, here freight-train harmonica and spectral guitar frame a romantic dust-to-dust realism – where the best we can do is live wildly before we die. The single arrives alongside new visuals by visual artist Catherine Siravantha, who also co-directed the recently released music videos for lead singles “Body of Light” and “I’m A Cloud Now.”

The Dead Tongues’ new albums, Body of Light and I Am A Cloud, will be released this summer via Psychic Hotline, the independent label founded by Sylvan Esso. The albums feature performances by Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Bon Iver), Mat Davidson (Twain), Matt Douglas (The Mountain Goats), Joe Westerlund (Califone, Megafaun), Jeff Ratner (Bing and Ruth), and more. Gustafson wanted to dedicate the studio time to not just recording songs but also making something new, with new improvisations.
