Dirty Beaches is over, or at least this incarnation of Alex Zhang Hungtai’s music has come to an end. Hungtai tweeted an explanation, saying it’s “sad to say goodbye,”… “but rest assured NEW PROJECTS NEW MUSIC COMING SOON 2015.” You can read his tweets in full below:

Time to move on. — Last Lizard (@dirtybeaches808) October 28, 2014
While we’re sad to see Hungtai hang up the Dirty Beaches moniker, we’re sure the future will bring about exciting new music from the multi-terrestrial artist. And we’ll always cherish the drunken times we’ve shared together. Remember, to some it was just bile on the floor, but to us it was a stain in our fond memories of your intimate set.
The last Dirty Beaches record, Stateless, is out November 4 on Zoo Music.
