The track features a bright horn section and groovy bass and guitar lines while both Peck and Beck sing: “Sin City lights / Spin the wheel around and roll the dice / Death Valley high / Gonna let it run like the devil’s son tonight,” shouting out Las Vegas and its electric scene.

Directed by Austin Peters, the accompanying video for ‘Death Valley High’ serves as a tribute to Vegas and opens with the words “Peck Beck” in lights as a homage to Elvis Presley’s ’68 comeback special. It sees both musicians perform in the middle of a roulette wheel and features cameos by Sharon Stone and Gigi Goode while having a night out in Sin City.

The song is the latest to be shared from Peck’s forthcoming album ‘Stampede’ which is set for release on August 2 via Warner. The LP will also feature ‘Midnight Ride’, the masked singer’s collab with Kylie Minogue and Diplo as well as ‘You’re an Asshole, I Can’t Stand You (and I Want a Divorce)’ featuring Margo Price. You can pre-order / pre-save the album here.

‘Stampede’ will serve as a follow-up to Peck’s 2022 LP ‘Bronco‘. In a four-star review of the album, NME wrote: “This is a rich landscape: wholly modern and proudly queer. It’s an album of unabashed growth, as the artist gets in his feelings but never veers into self-pity. The masked cowboy is – paradoxically – baring his soul, unbridled and all the better for it. On ‘Bronco’, Peck wears his identity as matter-of-factly as the album’s retro-country razzle-dazzle. Allow him to sweep you away on horseback into the dusty sunset.”

Back in May, Peck released his EP ‘Stampede: Vol. 1 which featured a duet with Willie Nelson on a cover of “Cowboys Are Frequently Secretly Fond of Each Other,” which Nelson previously recorded as well as Elton John singing a duet of “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)” with Peck.

In other news, Beck has recently added vocals to a song with Mark Lanegan for the late singer’s reissue of ‘Bubblegum’ marking his first posthumous release.
