Des Rocs announces new album ‘Dream Machine’
DES ROCS has announced a new album!
Titled Dream Machine, the upcoming album from the New York City-based rock artist is the follow-up to 2021’s A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Sumerian Records.
Produced by Alain Johannes [QUEEN OF THE STONE AGE, THEM CROOKED VULTURES, PJ HARVEY], Matt Wallace [FAITH NO MORE, MAROON 5] and project mastermind Danny Rocco.
Speaking about the upcoming album, Rocco says, “I grew up worshiping the enormous scale of rock n roll. I was obsessed with the awesome spectrum of people it could unite. Soon the guitar became my ultimate escape. When I played I could pour years of bottled-up feelings through my fingers and express myself in a way I never thought possible. I’d imagine myself on the stages of my heroes, and soon became singularly-focused on how I could one day stand on the shoulders of giants.
I wanted to make an album that captured the same magic that changed my life. But it was important to push the genre. To filter larger-than-life emotions through the lens of my own experiences. Dream Machine is an album that embodies the dreams of that little kid standing in front of the TV watching QUEEN at Wembley. Dream Machine is a vessel.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, DES ROCS has released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Nowhere Kid. Speaking about the new song, Rocco says, “Nowhere Kid is an anthem for the lonely. A battle hymn for anyone wrestling with the isolation of modern life. Growing up, I struggled to reconcile my dreams with my surroundings. There was this constant inner-monologue that ran in circles around who I was versus who I wanted to be. I hope Nowhere Kid can be a beacon to guide those struggling with a dreadful sense of solitude out of their darkness.”
