The Dollyrots announce new album ‘Daydream Explosion’

THE DOLLYROTS have announced a new album!

Titled Daydream Explosion, the upcoming album follows the huge success of their breakout album, 2017’s Whiplash Splash, and will be released in July this year.

Well known for being a very successful DIY band, the release of Daydream Explosion is the first time THE DOLLYROTS have worked with a label since their days working with Joan Jett‘s Blackheart Records in the mid-late 00’s. The album has also turned out to be one that was particularly inspired by some tough times in the band’s home life, as their vocalist and bassist Kelly says, “it threw us for a loop in December when my dad passed away [of complications from heart disease and a type of dementia]. We had just a handful of songs written. But we managed to keep our kids happy through the holidays, and then every night we’d go into our studio and write. Somehow we wrote the best group of songs of our career in those few weeks.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have launched a new music video for the first song taken from the upcoming record; titled Everything.

“At the core of this,” Luis says, “we are a married couple with two kids and a small business that we need to keep afloat. That business also happens to be artistic, which can be a reach. So these days, we try to find those moments where we can create and tap into that indescribable thing that helps us create music. It was a tough year for us and I think the album creation was cathartic. And in the end, it resulted in our best album yet.” Kelly further sums it up, “this is the album of our dreams.”

Daydream Explosion is set for release on July 12th via Wicked Cool Records.
