Ted Bradley is back with a new track, and it's a ripper. The Providence musician you might know from Empty Country, the band led by former Cymbals Eat Guitars frontman Joseph D'Agostino, makes his own noise as Strange Pains. Today he drops "Lucifer Disguised," and it's a killer taste of what's coming.
Here's the moment: Strange Pains has a new LP called The Diamond District, Volume 1, the first half of a planned two-LP set. D'Agostino produced, engineered, and mixed the whole thing. If you loved the wild sprawl of Cymbals Eat Guitars records like 2014's LOSE, that same restless energy runs through this collaboration.
The album was set for today, but it shifted to next month instead. No matter. This single carries the weight, all coiled tension and payoff, the kind of track that rewards repeat spins.
Two friends, two catalogs, one belter of a new song. Get on it now, because the full record is right around the corner.
