The Dare is set to release a deluxe edition of debut album
'What's Wrong With New York?: Afters' on 13th June via Republic Records, featuring three new tracks from the original album sessions.
Harrison Patrick Smith, who performs as
The Dare, has shared new track
'LCA' ahead of the expanded release. "LCA: when the party gets too seedy, too self-destructive, and too excessive. When people get so drunk they start playing Benny Benassi through speakers already blown. Tomorrow seems very far away," Smith says of the new song.
The release follows a sold-out UK and European headline tour, an appearance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards with Charli XCX, and several shows at Paris Fashion Week. The original album '
What's Wrong With New York?' was released in September 2024, featuring the single '
Girls', which has accumulated 52 million Spotify streams.
The deluxe edition includes previously unreleased tracks from the album sessions and a cover of The Sound's 'I Can't Escape Myself'. Smith continues to host his Freakquencies club nights globally, recently playing to 4,000 people in NYC, with guest DJs including Doss, Danny L Harle, Dylan Brady, and Kelly Lee Owens.
