With just over a month to go until new album Doom Loop, Dream Nails have unleashed new single and video Ballpit, which is about “having fun for the sake of it”.
Dream Nails have shared a brand-new single and video, Ballpit.
Taken from their upcoming album Doom Loop (due out on October 13 via Marshall), the track is about “having fun for the sake of it” according to drummer Lucy Katz. “It’s about the pursuit of hedonism as a radical act. Sometimes the dread and hopelessness caused by the succubus of late-capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, and environmental devastation feels overwhelming.
“These problems aren’t going to be solved by acting silly in a ball pit or writing a song about it, but part of breaking through the doom loop is learning how to have self-compassion, to carve out moments and spaces where we can play and simply exist.”
“After a show, with the band tired and depleted, Anya started begging everyone else to check out this adult ball pit, aptly named Balls Deep…” adds bassist Mimi Jasson for more context. “She was honestly desperate to go. We caved and ended up spending an ecstatic hour surrounded by ‘sticky coloured plastic’, laughing, and jumping in, over and over again… ‘Drowning in colour’ is the ultimate goal.”
