DEAD LAKES have announced their debut album!

Titled daydreamer, the upcoming album from the Pacific Northwest-based alternative rock band is their debut full-length album and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via SharpTone Records.

The upcoming album was 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.

“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.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; strange juice. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming debut, following on from stamina, which was released back in December.

Speaking about the new song, Sumy says, “I hope this song gives people the courage to take whatever leap it is in life they feel they need to take. strange juice is all about loving the process of life in all its stages and finding yourself more, and more along the way.”
