The answer is no, it hasn’t been a year yet. It was only back in November of last year that I reviewed Palm Springs desert rockers Dali’s Llama‘s ninth album, Raw is Real, and now already they’ve returned with a follow-up. Due out August 9, Howl Do You Do? is number 10, and like the rest, it’ll be released on the band’s own Dali’s Llama Records. Hey man, if you believe in it, you do it.

There’s a new track called “She’s My Halloween” posted on Dali’s Llama‘s MySpace page now. As you can tell from listening, it’s a little different, a little spookier with the organ, and a whole lot more garage rock. That’s just how the band wanted it to be. Here’s what they had to say about it:

Although we are normally thought of as a tuned-down desert rock “stoner” band, we wanted to make a CD that shows our garage rock roots (with a big heap of raw blues). Hints of The Sonics, Music Machine and The Yardbirds grace this CD, with a more contemporary Fuzztones and The Damned influence. In the spirit of Green Day’s Foxboro Hot Tubs, this is our homage to the nuggets that inspired songwriter Zach Huskey when he was growing up Green on Red like. Join us on our journey through garageville, we’ll return to “heavy” soon enough. Hope you dig it.
