Adelaide outfit Bad//Dreems will hit the road throughout June and early July in support of their upcoming album HOO HA!, which is set for release on Friday, 19th May. The band will kick it off with a hometown show on Friday, 23rd June before heading through Melbourne and Brisbane, finishing off in Sydney at the start of July. Bad//Dreems will be joined at all stops other than Adelaide by Children Collide and Dr. Sure’s Unusual Practice.
The band have released another single from the album – titled ‘New Breeze’, it follows the earlier singles ‘See You Tomorrow’, ‘Mansfield 6.0’ and ‘Jack’. Listen to the new single below.
Bad//Dreems: ‘New Breeze’
As the band explain, ‘New Breeze’ is a track about the constant slog of life. “We looked forward to a utopia at the end of the pandemic, but life is never that simple,” said guitarist Alex Cameron. “You end up just pissing in a different breeze.”
Speaking about the making of HOO HA!, Cameron said there was a “significant possibility” that it wasn’t going to happen, and that the band might not even have played together again. But, in the end, “I made a pledge to say exactly what I wanted to and make music true to only ourselves. Bugger the consequences,” said Cameron.
HOO HA! is Bad//Dreems’ fourth album and follows 2019’s Doomsday Ballet. The band hunkered down in a studio inside a “disused neo-gothic incinerator” to carve it out, before finishing it off with producer Dan Luscombe in 2022.
