Mike D announces debut solo album, shares “True Colors”

Beastie Boys ‘ Mike D has announced his debut solo album, Thank You , which will be out August 28 via Capitol. You can preorder it on clear vinyl and CD in the BV shop . He made it at his home studio with sons Skyler and Davis Diamond — who are in his backing band 5D — along with Carter Lang, Jared Solomon, Ging, Jason Lader, Eddie Ruscha, Tyran Donaldson and others.

“It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to really appreciate in our collaboration,” says Mike D. “And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious, because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality.

The album includes singles “ Switch Up ” and “ What We Got, ” and he’s just released a third single, “True Colors.”

Check out the cover art and tracklist below.

Mike D and 5D have been playing shows and they’re currently on tour in Europe. They’ll play San Francisco’s Portola festival in September and all dates are listed below.
