It's time to call off the search party; summer 2017 has officially found its album. Grammy award-winning artist RAC, real name André Allen Anjos, brings the heat with his latest release, EGO.
The album is a veritable block party, featuring Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, Vampire Weekend's Rostam, Joywave, Chaos Chaos, MNDR, St. Lucia, Scavenger Hunt, Pink Feathers, Jordan Corey, K.Flay, Alice MK and Karl Kling.
Having built his reputation remixing the likes of Lana Del Rey, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ellie Goulding and label mates ODESZA, Anjos proves once more just how versatile he can be on EGO.
Released on Counter Records, his second full-length follows 2014's Strangers and finds RAC returning to songwriting. It's his most ambitious and personal venture to date.
“This is, undeniably and unashamedly, a pop record but one that is
content to delve deeply into melancholy waters. A modern pop classic.”
8/10 – Clash
“From start to finish, EGO by RAC destroys the sophomore slump curse and
proves to anyone listening (and you should be listening), he is only getting
started. Buy a ticket to this ride soon before there's no more room on the
train.” – Seattle PI
