Heaven

Description

Partisan Records release the sophomore album from Toronto band Dilly Dally, titled Heaven and produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck).

Its been three years since Dilly Dally released their acclaimed debut album Sore and, in that time, the Toronto rockers managed to tour the world and take the press by storm, only to nearly call it quits and walk away forever. After a tough year of writing and re-writing, the band began to reform and refine the material frontwoman Katie Monks was channelling.

Heaven opens with the dreamy I Feel Free, which begins as a floating, untethered soundscape before transforming into a soaring anthem. The inexorable Believe insists on selfconfidence, while the driving Sober Motel celebrates the lucidity a clear mind and the lilting Sorry Ur Mad makes a case for releasing yourself from the prisons of anger and resentment.

Heaven is healing, intimate, an understanding that absence weighs more than presence, that life is both sweet and sour. Its the record you wish you had in high school, a voice acknowledging your hurt all while giving you mantras to hold the hell on to. Noisey

Dilly Dally are set to embark on a headline UK/EU tour through October, including a headline show at Sebright Arms in London.

Available to independent retailers on white vinyl.
