Tom Morello Releases New Single “Driving To Texas” featuring Phantogram

The New Album To Feature Impressive Slate Of Collaborations Out October 15th

Rock & Roll icon and two-time Grammy winner Tom Morello has released a new single from his recently announced album project The Atlas Underground Fire. The original song “Driving To Texas” featuring Phantogram is available HERE.

“I’d worked with Josh from Phantogram on my first Atlas Underground album and I was thrilled when he and Sarah reached out about collaborating on this record. This song is creepy as hell --a dark journey, a struggle for a tortured soul. The guitar solo needed to feel like a vengeful angel who has come down to decide the fate of the protagonist. Will they descend into the abyss or will they find redemption? “Driving To Texas,” really shows the breadth of the music you’ll hear on this record. Sarah has one of the most haunting and beautiful voices of anyone singing today, and Josh’s production is stylistically so fresh and eerie,” said Tom Morello.
