Dream Nails have laid out plans for their third studio album.
The London punks will release 'You Wish' through Marshall Records on February 6, following up 2023's 'Doom Loop'. Produced by Ali Chant, known for his work with Dry Cleaning, Katy J Pearson, Sorry and Yard Act, and written over the past year, the record finds the trio reflecting a period of global upheaval. Guitarist Anya Pearson said:
"This is a punk album about resilience. Each song a story of strength. It’s called 'You Wish' because it perfectly captures our punk swagger counterpointed with our cosmic optimism.
"With 'Doom Loop', we were curious observers of the world’s repeated cycles. With 'You Wish', we’re finding the strength to fight. We’re asking the universe for guidance. We’re making friends with animals. We’re surrendering to the elements, to a cosmic knowing that we’re all born with, to find the answers."
The LP is the band's first since becoming a three-piece, with bassist Mimi Jasson now also on vocals. "The fact that we’re working now as a trio has made our creative relationship much tighter," explained drummer Lucy Katz. "The thing that’s special about this album is that it really feels like all of ours equally. It feels much more cohesive between the three of us, too."
Discussing taking over lead vocals, Jasson said: "The dynamics of your voice become so much more intimate and important. You can’t see your instrument; it has to come through feeling. There are parts of your body you wouldn’t normally focus on; I'm figuring out different resonances in my body and finding the muscles to use when I want to scream without hurting my voice. It’s been such a learning experience.
"The parts of the songs I wrote came from a culmination of years of listening, learning and playing. When you are free writing or jamming, it comes out as something that's uniquely yours. And it's cool to share that with other people you're writing with and have everyone's experiences come together.
"Youve got to strike the balance between what’s instinctively good and what you know could be better," added Pearson. "It’s about trusting the energy you’re receiving but also guiding it."
The album will include last month's single, This Is Water, along with the newly released track Organoid, which serves up punchy, pop-punk hooks delivered with clever lyrics and riot grrrl grit. Drummer Katz described it as, "a fight to stay human in the outright insanity of the digital age. It’s a response to feeling silenced by the tech overlords and the toxic social environment they have created, which corrupts how we all relate to each other and ourselves."
