MIKE, Earl Sweatshirt, and SURF GANG Announce New Double Album, Reveal Upcoming Tour Dates

"Due out April 3rd via 10k/Tan Cressida/SURF GANG Records, POMPEII // UTILITY spans 33 tracks and pairs MIKE and Earl's trance-inducing raps with production from the New York collective SURF GANG. According to a press release, the project has been 'many years in the making' and is a product of not just MIKE and Earl's working relationship that stretches back almost a decade, but also SURF GANG's history of working with both artists."

"On the 'Minty' half of the track, MIKE pedals an ominous verse in his distinctive lower register, making great use of a minimalistic beat to paint descriptive scenes. When the beat switches to 'Earth' and adds some considerably smoother musical textures, Earl hops on with quietly delivered, densely-packed rhymes that connect in ways you'd never expect - per usual."

"The 'Home on the Range' tour kicks off on April 24th in Mexico City at Foro Indie Rocks. Over the next few months, it will visit US cities such as Los Angeles, New York, and Myrtle Beach before heading to the UK and Europe, where the artists will perform in cities including Glasgow, Dublin, and Paris."
