Portland psych-pop vets Dandy Warhols are celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2019, and they’ve announced a new album and a tour for the occasion. Why You So Crazy, the band’s tenth studio album, will come out January 25, 2019 via Dine Alone Records, and you can watch the video for new single, “Be Alright,” below (it follows recent single “Forever”). The 360° video features Jessica Paré (Mad Men), and was directed by Taylor-Taylor and written and conceived by Kevin Moyer.

About the video, Kevin says, “Back in 2002, the Dandy Warhols bought a ten thousand square foot building in what was then industrial NW Portland and created The Odditorium, a place that soon became their band headquarters, recording studio, and hang out for them and all their friends and fellow artists. I’ve been there many times and it is such a cool and ethereal place, full of psychedelia and gothic touches and auras, that it just makes your head spin trying to take all of it in as you walk through the unique rock n roll space. So what better way than to use a head spinning media format to take the viewer on a magical journey through the Dandy Warhols own space and sound, with the new single ‘Be Alright’ making things exactly that along the way.”

Dandy Warhols will tour Europe and the UK in January, then head to the U.S. for more anniversary dates in May, starting with Shaky Knees Festival. Those dates include a NYC show at Brooklyn Steel on May 8. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (10/16) at 10 AM, with an American Express Cardmember presale happening now.
