Suicide frontman Alan Vega may be gone, but his music lives on. Today, his first posthumous full-length has been announced. Titled IT, the new album arrives July 14 via FADER Label. It was recorded by Vega with his wife, Liz Lamere, beginning in 2010 up until his death last year. According to a press release, Vega found inspiration for the new album by “religiously consuming global news and taking frequent late-night walks alone throughout the streets of downtown New York.” Listen to the first single and album opener, “DTM” (short for “Dead to Me”), below.
“Alan’s life force was so strong because he believed in his vision and purpose, “ Lamere said in a statement. “He understood we can’t control much of what happens to us, or in our world, but we have free will and the power to go on and stand for what we believe in.”
