Roky Erikson New Album, Tour Dates

Roky Erikson will release his first album of new material in 14 years on April 20th. On True Love Cast Out All Evil, Erikson is backed by fellow Texans Will Sheff and Okkervil River, who will also be performing with the former 13th Floor Elevators front man on a handful of dates in April and May.

Sheff, who also produced the new record, was given over 60 unreleased songs to choose from and narrowed down the album to 12 tracks, while incorporating found-sound and archival recordings from Erikson's home videos and recordings made during the singer's time at Rusk State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.

True Love Cast Out All Evil drops April 20th from Anti-. Check out the first track released from the new record below:
