Origami Angel Announce New Mixtape, Unveil Single “My PG County Summer”: Stream
The post Origami Angel Announce New Mixtape, Unveil Single “My PG County Summer”: Stream appeared first on Consequence.
Origami Angel have announced a new mixtape, My Brightest Days, which is due on June 16th. The Washington, D.C.-based two-piece also unveiled their latest single from the project, a pop-punk tune titled “My PG County Summer.” Listen to the song below.
My Brightest Days was written throughout the summer of 2020, during the initial, stay-at-home period of the COVID-19 pandemic. The songs were then recorded during August 2022, and capture the feelings of lost innocence that Origami Angel’s Ryland Heagy and Pat Doherty were musing on.
“My PG County Summer” specifically calls out the juxtaposing cultures that color the atmosphere of America’s capital — Heagy recalls the teachers who once taught him to be grateful to be near such rich history, and then turns his observational flow in the direction of hate-stoking, abortion-protesting “travelers,” who come from all corners of the country to assert their political agendas… sometimes violently, as seen with the January 6th attack.
Last month, Origami Angel released another single off My Brightest Days: “Thank You, New Jersey,” a surf-inspired pop-punk bop paying homage to the inimitable vibe of the Garden State. The music video — featuring the duo dancing around in front of a green screen — is out now.
My Brightest Days will drop on DSPs on June 16th, but will be available in a special-edition, orange vinyl printing as well. Pre-orders for physical copies are ongoing. See its artwork and tracklist below.
Origami Angel has also been on the road, and is just a few days away from wrapping up a headlining tour. Then, they’ll hit the road again, opening a few dates for glaive, who’s song “1984” earned Song of the Week status from Consequence when it debuted in 2021.
