Dear Boy have announced their second album ‘Celebrator’, set for release on 17th October via Last Gang Records. The LA indie rockers have also shared their new single ‘After All’, featuring Alithea Tuttle of Rocket.
Lead vocalist Ben Grey discusses the track’s origins, saying, “It is crazy to have been a band for this long without contributing a primal-teenage-bedroom-rock riff. Happy to finally right a wrong.”
The collaboration with Rocket emerged from an existing friendship between the bands. “We first played with Rocket on New Year’s Eve a few years ago and became fast friends. We’re both from the Valley, went to the same pre-school, a tale as old as time,” Grey explains. “But truly, they’re an important band, and I think Alithea has one of the defining rock voices of this generation. We feel so honored she sang on After All. It’s the Catherine Wheel/Throwing Muses moment we’ve always dreamed of.”
‘Celebrator’, which follows their 2022 debut ‘Forever Sometimes’, was written in twelve sessions and recorded live in under two weeks. The album’s tracklist includes ‘Wanderlow’, ‘Kelly Green’, ‘Inevitable’, ‘Now More Than Ever’, ‘Balcony’, ‘After All (Ft. Rocket)’, ‘The Address’, ‘Long Blonde Night’, ‘Celebrator’, and ‘Daylight Savings’.
