That’s a big yes to new BlackWater HolyLight. The Portland, Oregonian outfit issued their self-titled debut (review here) last year through RidingEasy Records, and it’s the kind of record where all you have to do is see the song titles to get the tracks stuck in your head. What might a second album hold? I honestly have no idea, but I’m sure I’ll be glad to find out.

The band have announced touring in Europe that will include stops at Desertfest London and Berlin as well as Esbjerg Fuzztival and in rooms like Gothenburg’s famed Truckstop Alaska and others. Before they go, they’ll be at Psycho Smokeout on — you guessed it — April 20 in Los Angeles. One would assume that by the time they head abroad the album would be done, but yeah, that’s an assumption, so make of it what you will.

In any case, it’s slated to be out this October, so I’ll hope to have more on it as we get closer.
