Last month, Ryan Gustafson announced his fourth album as the Dead Tongues. Titled Transmigration Blues, it’s the followup to 2018’s Unsung Passage. So far, we’ve already heard the single “Peaceful Ambassador,” which took Gustafson’s yearning Americana and placed it over a rollicking, Stones-y rhythm. And now, ahead of the album’s arrival next week, he’s shared another new track.

The latest preview of Transmigration Blues is called “Déjà Vu.” Gustafson said he wrote it “in a brief moment, almost as if it was waiting to be sung… or like it had already been written down someplace in my memory. I was tired and felt isolated. This song gave me something to connect to. It felt like a bridge I could cross to see it all in some other light.” The track also features the trio Mountain Man on backing vocals.

“Déjà Vu” is a patient, ruminative slowburn. It opens with lonesome harmonica peals, and steadily blooms into the layered refrains as Gustafson and Mountain Man weave their voices together. On the album, it sprawls out into a full seven minutes, with an extended instrumental outro, but today Gustafson’s released a slightly shorter radio edit. Check it out below.
