Dream Nails have shared a new single called Ballpit.
Following Femme Boi and Good Guy, the vibrant disco-punk track will feature on the London-based band's second album, 'Doom Loop', due out on October 13 via Marshall Records. Drummer Lucy Katz said:
"This song is about having fun for the sake of it. It’s about the pursuit of hedonism as a radical act. Sometimes the dread and hopelessness caused by the succubus of late-capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and environmental devastation feels overwhelming.
"These problems aren’t going to be solved by acting silly in a ball pit or writing a song about it, but part of breaking through the doom loop is learning how to have self-compassion, to carve out moments and spaces where we can play and simply exist."
Bassist Mimi Jasson added: "After a show, with the band tired and depleted, Anya started begging everyone else to check out this adult ball pit, aptly named Balls Deep… She was honestly desperate to go. We caved and ended up spending an ecstatic hour surrounded by ‘sticky coloured plastic,’ laughing, and jumping in, over and over again… ‘Drowning in colour’ is the ultimate goal."
It arrives ahead of their show in Birmingham on Friday (September 8). They'll support the LP with a run of in-store dates, followed by UK and European shows in the autumn.
