This is the Indie Track of the Day Giveaway. It’s just like it sounds—every day we spotlight a song from an indie band/artist and we let you keep the track to do with whatever you like (within the limits of the law).

The song is part of our podcast, so if you want it (you do), search on iTunes for the ExploreMusic.com podcast, or just scroll down to the bottom of this page and click the links.

The Black Angels is a five-piece psychedelic rock band from Austin, Texas.

They’ve been compared to The Warlocks, Black Mountain, and The Velvet Underground—whose song, "The Black Angel’s Death Song," Black Angels derived their name from.

Black Angels performed as Roky Erickson’s backing band in October and November 2008, and they collaborated on one song for Unkle’s latest album, Where Did the Night Fall.

Phosphene Dream, The Black Angels’ third full length album, will be released on September 14th.
