February 14 street date. Bartees Strange presents his ambitious, wide-ranging third full-length album, "Horror". The world can be a terrifying place, and for a young, queer, black person in rural America, that terror can be visceral. "Horror" is an album about facing those fears and growing to become someone to be feared. Throughout the record, Strange lays down one difficult truth after another, all over a sonic pastiche of music he loved as a kid. His dad hipped him to Parliament/Funkadelic, Fleetwood Mac, Teddy Pendergrass, and Neil Young. Those influences merged with his interests in hip-hop, country, indie rock, and house, culminating in a record that feels completely original. Strange began the album at his home studio, followed by a session with Yves and Lawrence Rothman (Yves Tumor, Lady Gaga), then after meeting Jack Antonoff, the two of them finished the record together, working on the songs raw, editing, arranging, and dressing them up in clothing bound to inspire fear.
