Dead Lakes have shared their new single “tongue planet” today via SharpTone Records. Taken from the band’s upcoming album, daydreamer, the track grapples with rolling with the punches and relinquishing control in situations when necessary, understanding that things don’t always go as planned. Listen to the song now below and pre-order daydreamer now HERE.
“’tongue planet’ sort of came out of nowhere at a time during the pandemic where I think everyone was wondering if we should even do this anymore,” shares drummer Chon on the new single. “There were things that everyone was either attached to or fed up with that needed to get put to rest with this song.”
Recently, Dead Lakes announced their first full-length album daydreamer, due for release on March 31 via SharpTone Records. The upcoming album, produced by Sam Guaiana (The Devil Wears Prada, Silverstein, Between You & Me), was designed to be consumed front-to-back on a solo nighttime drive and challenges listeners to take a chance on themselves in the name of personal discovery. Over the course of twelve dreamy tracks – including singles “wrong way,” which has garnered over a million streams on Spotify, “strange juice,” which became the band’s most viewed music video after only five days, and “stamina” – listeners see Dead Lakes follow their own advice and leave their former selves silhouetted by the glow of the sinking sun, emerging reborn in the neon twilight.
“From the jump, daydreamer puts you in the driver’s seat of the story,” explains vocalist Sumy. “This record constantly blurs the line between reality and daydream both sonically and lyrically. We wanted to extend that energy to this record by giving you a mix of what you’d expect from us with a surreal fresh energy and perspective. The result ended up being a sonic journey of sound and emotion. This record runs parallel with the ride of life. The gut-wrenching moments, self-doubt, relationships, vices, and the feeling of euphoria.”
