The Nude Party prep 'Midnight Manor' (listen to "What's the Deal?")

The Nude Party will release their second album, Midnight Manor, on October 2 via New West Records. The band recorded the record live-to-tape over six days at the Outlier Inn in upstate New York, and it was mixed by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr, Kurt Vile).

We’ve got the premiere of “What’s The Deal?” which sounds like a cross section of 1967 hitting the Stones, Velvet Underground and more, but its raucous vibe belies more serious themes. “I was watching a loved one’s mind slowly depart from her brain, year by year,” says the band’s Patton Magee. “Leaving just scattered fragments of memories and faces. All the mirror-neurons in my head were going haywire, trying to duplicate how it feels to lose your grip on everything. ‘What’s The Deal’ is trying to make sense of that weird contract forced on us between getting here and going.”
