Sad13 (aka Speedy Ortiz frontperson Sadie Dupuis) has announced a new album. It’s called Haunted Painting and it arrives September 25 via her own label Wax Nine. Check out the first single “Ghost (of a Good Time)” below. Scroll down for the album artwork, made by Sadie’s mother Diane Dupuis.
“I worked on Haunted Painting throughout 2019, writing, arranging and recording from home, then finishing the songs in studios around the country in between Speedy’s fly-in dates,” Dupuis said in a statement. “It’s maximalist, and more true to me and my tastes than any record I’ve done.”
Haunted Painting is the second Sad13 record following 2016’s Slugger. The record features a number of guest vocalists, including Tune-Yards’ Merrill Garbus, Deerhoof’s Satomi Matsuzaki, Helado Negro’s Roberto Carlos Lange, and Pile’s Rick Maguire. Speedy Ortiz’s most recent LP was 2018’s Twerp Verse.
