NewDad – Misery

Last week Irish alt-rock trio released their sophomore album, Altar, on Atlantic Records.

Today the release the new single and video “Misery.”

“Misery” follows the release of “Everything I Wanted”, “Roobosh”, and “Pretty,”

Thematically, the record sits in the push-and-pull between dream and reality: homesickness and healing (“Pretty”), rage and release (“Roobosh”), self-doubt and resilience (“Everything I Wanted”). Sonically, it finds NewDad expanding their sound into sharper, more pop-leaning spaces while retaining the immersive dream-pop textures that first made them one of Ireland’s most exciting young bands. Produced and half co-written by Shrink (Sam Breathwick), with the second half co-written alongside Justin Parker, Altar is the band’s boldest, most confident statement yet.
