The ever prolificAl Riggs (they/them) is kicking off 2019 with the release of 'Godkiller,' an LP that they say is 'uglier' than some of their most recent work. While this may be the case thematically, there is quite a bit of beauty on these nine songs. Ominous lyrics touch on themes such as anxiety and queerness, while synths and acoustic guitar strums create an atmospheric back drop.

'Godkiller' was recorded in Al's living room and is set for release on January 25th on Suah Sounds. They'll celebrate the album's release at The Cave on Febuary 15th.

You can get an exclusive preview of the album here.
