More about Dream Nails:
Dream Nails are asking different questions nowadays. They made their name with energised, empathetic, yet politically conscious punk, bursting onto the scene with their 2020 self-titled debut before signing to Marshall Records for their 2023 follow-up, Doom Loop. Those qualities are still intact, but now their lens has taken on a softer, yet no less astute, focus. They’re becoming inquisitive, they’re searching for optimism, and crucially, they’re recalibrating. Nonetheless, they’re not ignoring the world outside their windows. Instead, they’re searching for and connecting with a sense of inclusive humanity. Their interest in stories of strength and resilience speaks to this, as pertinent to one’s personal life as to activism. After all, you can’t change the world by pouring from an empty cup.
Their punk spirit remains preserved in amber, but nowadays, Dream Nails are more eclectic than they’ve ever been. They have no reservations about getting weird and surreal, especially as a means of talking back to a progressively darkening world. Adding to the album’s mystical, otherworldly tone, intertwined with its ideas about connecting with the universe and requesting its guidance, there seemed to be a spiritual way in which their initial ideas revealed themselves. “The parts of the songs I wrote came from a culmination of years of listening, learning and playing. When you are free writing or jamming it comes out as something that's uniquely yours. And it's cool to share that with other people you're writing with and have everyone’s experiences come together,” notes Mimi. Nonetheless, there was still some sculpting involved. “You’ve got to strike the balance between what’s instinctively good and what you know could be better,” adds Anya. “It’s about trusting the energy you’re receiving but also guiding it.”
