"The Dandy Warhols have been around providing you the perfect dose of psychedelic pop since 1994."

The Dandy Warhols are excited to share a video for their single "You Are Killing Me." The video stars Joe Dallesandro, who is best known for starring in Andy Warhol films including Flesh, Heat, and Trash. Joe Dallesandro - who also graced the cover ofRolling Stone in 1971 - has rarely appeared on camera in the last 20 years making his involvement all the more exciting.
The video - which premiered on Pitchfork - was directed by Mark Helfrich who notes"The concept for the video came out of Courtney's desire to have a film featuring not only Joe Dallesandro, but furries as well. I thought Joe had the perfect look for a Film Noir setting. So I came up with a trippy treatment and everybody signed off on it. The day before shooting I got a message that Zia was flying to Los Angeles because she wanted to be the Bunny! So Zia's the Bunny. I was thrilled to work with the iconic Joe Dallesandro. He hasn't acted much in the past couple of decades, but he wanted to do this project because he digs the Dandy Warhols. It was an honor to direct him.

AV Club have noted "In the druggy, psychedelic world long-inhabited by the Dandy Warhols, it's hard to think of a more on-the-nose album title than Distortland. The Warhols' 10th studio effort lives up to its name, at least if we're to judge by its lead single 'You Are Killing Me.' Moving forward in a heavier direction from 2012's subtleThis Machine, the song is almost mechanical in its straight-forwardness, but it's as self-consciously cool and catchy as one would expect from the alt-rock veterans"
The Dandy Warhols new album Distortland is being released this Friday, April 8, viaDine Alone. Pandora is exclusively streaming the entire album a week in advance. Listen here: http://pdora.co/Distortland.
The band just kicked off their first tour in support of the album and will be playing at New York City's Bowery Ballroom next week (April 12 and 13) with a third area show atBrooklyn's Rough Trade on April 16. The complete list of dates is listed below.
"it has all the understated, tuneful swagger that you would hope to hear from a new Dandy Warhols song in 2016." Stereogum on "Catcher In The Rye"
"('STYGGO' is) a hypnotic strut of a song, that never quite peaks so much as lures you with singer Courtney Taylor-Taylor's vocals low and lulling in the mix. They're urging you to lean in that little bit closer." Noisey
"(it) features a sparse arrangement consisting of straightforward, chugging, overdriven guitar, multi-tracked vocals, and slightly off kilter harmonies. Everything about the new tune, from the instrumentation to the lyrics, comes off as effortless, but the simplistic hook is memorable enough that heads will surely nod."
AV Club on "You Are Killing Me"
"the song sports a chugging guitar riff and an earwormy hook" Diffuser on "You Are Killing Me"
"the choral hook will surely have you turning back again and again." Austin Town Hall on "You Are Killing Me"
