Austin band Pure X announced their third LP, Angel, out April 1 on Mississippi based label Fat Possum.  Over the course of each full-length the band has tirelessly reinvented themselves,opting to stay true to their own sensibilities and create the music that they wanted to make. With the third album, and their first as a quartet, their previous creations have given way to a new found serenity, a calm which finds the band in its most potent, refined, and elemental form yet.  Pure X have crafted a beautifully genuine pop record whose influences span across genres and generations without reserve while simultaneously coming into their own in the process.
Pure X have shared with Pitchfork the first track off Angel, the gorgeous album opener “Starlight.” Listen to it here.
The band has taken to the road since their beginning, touring with the likes of Youth Lagoon, This Will Destroy You, and now they’ll continue that tradition with a tour with Real Estate beginning this march. See all tour dates below.
