Brooklyn garage-psych trio Acid Dad are excited to announce their sophomore album Take It From The Dead, due June 11, 2021 via Greenway Records / The Reverberation Appreciation Society. To ring in the announcement, the band has shared the video for the album's first single "RC Driver." The video debuted via FLOOD Magazine, who said that "'RC Driver' is a slowed-down, psyched-up shift for the band inducing images of sun-soaked beachfront getaways." Watch the video HERE, and hear the track HERE. "'RC Driver' is about how I wish I raced cars for a living," says Acid Dad's Vaughn Hunt. "All I wanna do is go fast and do stunts. I grew up near a lake, so jet skis are the next closest thing. Ain't nothing like rippin' a supercharged Sea-Doo going 90mph on pure glass, baby.  "Webb, our visual artist, and I got inspired and started digging for 80’s and 90’s jet-ski commercials," he continues. "We distorted and chopped them up into a vhs color trip using a combination of digital and analog feedback." Take It From The Dead is a co-release between Brooklyn’s Greenway Records and psych powerhouse LEVITATION's label The Reverberation Appreciation Society.

Acid Dad is an American alternative-rock band composed of singer-guitarists Vaughn Hunt and Sean Fahey and drummer Trevor Mustoe. Vaughn first started recording the band in his Bushwick, NY basement releasing the “Brain Body” single and their first EP, Let’s Plan a Robbery. Appearing live in the New York City rock scene in 2016, Acid Dad quickly moved to a world stage with their self-titled debut album, released by Greenway Records in 2018. During 2020, the band spent their time building a new studio space in Queens, NY, while continuing to independently produce all their own music, art and even building their own guitars. With a new space and vision, the band produced their second LP, Take It From The Dead, set to be co-released in June 2021 by Brooklyn’s Greenway Records and psych powerhouse LEVITATION’s label, The Reverberation Appreciation Society. Take It From The Dead features an array of different influences ranging from 90’s neo-psych, modern post-punk and 70’s rock-n-roll. Acid Dad has crafted a record that sounds new, yet feels nostalgic. In contrast to their earlier work, they make use of slower tempos and expand their sound to include songs that are both more intricate and more hypnotic. To accompany the new record, the band spent the last year collaborating with video artist Webb Hunt, producing psych and glitch art videos that form a visual counterpart to the dreamy distortions of their sound.
