Alex Zhang Hungtai will release the next Dirty Beaches album, Stateless, next week (11/4) via Zoo Music — the followup to 2013’s Drifters/Love is the Devil — and he’s now saying it will be his last for the project. He tweeted the following:

Hi guys thank you all for the support of STATELESS, its sad to say goodbye to DB, but rest assured NEW PROJECTS NEW MUSIC COMING SOON 2015. this may not be a smart move & painful1 too, but in the long run I’ll look back& be glad I moved on from Dirty Beaches. Thank you all x. RIP DIRTY BEACHES 2005-2014. Time to move on.

Bummer to hear but we look forward to whatever those new projects will be.

Stateless is an instrumental album, and it was recorded with Italian composer Vittorio Demarin on viola and mixed by David Lynch collaborator Dean Hurley. You can stream it in full at Pitchfork and listen to one of its tracks below.
