Dream Nails have dropped their new single ‘The Information’
Video by Casey Kauffman explores algorithmic overwhelm and ancient resilience themes.
Dream Nails have released a new track, ‘The Information’, taken from their forthcoming third album, ‘You Wish’, due on 6th February.
Recorded with producer and engineer Ali Chant (Dry Cleaning, Katy J Pearson, Sorry, Yard Act), ‘You Wish’ arrives via Marshall Records and sees the London trio - now operating as a tighter unit with bassist Mimi Jasson on lead vocals - lean into a broader palette.
“Sometimes the universe calls you up, and you need to make sure the damn phone isn’t on silent and you answer. It will almost certainly be a withheld number,” says guitarist Anya Pearson of ‘The Information’.
“In this song, we are imagining what it would be like to feel everything, all at once. We noticed how disassociated and numb we were feeling in reaction to the world being so overwhelming. But in the face of so much struggle, joy truly is an act of resistance. The track is a celebration of staying open to both ecstasy and pain. That’s what being alive truly means to us”, Pearson adds.
Drummer Lucy Katz explains, “The seed of the song was ‘I’m gonna download all the information’. Mimi came up with it, and it made us laugh because it sounds so bizarre. How can we remain open to all the accumulated knowledge of humanity without toppling into a full-on psychotropic ego-death?”
“The lyric ‘everything flows through me’ refers to ancient ways of being and doing that still exist within each of us”, shares singer Mimi Jasson. “We’re channelling primal forces on this record, and this song is the perfect example of this.”
