“This feels like the album we’d make if the band died and went to heaven,” says Dilly Dally guitarist/singer Katie Monks about her band’s upcoming sophomore album, aptly titled Heaven, out September 14 via Partisan Records / Dine Alone Records.
Opening track “I Feel Free” is out now, along with a video written and directed by Monks, “this song is me asking my bandmates to let go of what’s been weighing us down. We’re not going to let the past hold us back from our dreams. Let’s do this thing” – Monks explains.
Watch below Dilly Dally’s new video for the album’s opening track “I Feel Free”.
Monks describes the sound of Heaven as “doom metal vibes with lots of positive messages.” Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck), she’s backed by Liz Ball (lead guitar), Benjamin Reinhartz (drums), and Jimmy Tony (bass).
Following an opening set last week for The Voidz at Brooklyn’s Elsewhere, Dilly Dally will tour extensively behind Heaven. This fall they’ll hit the road with Fidlar, with additional headline dates to follow (full dates below).
