Daisy The Great "Rubber Teeth Talk" LP

180g Vinyl Record w/ Gatefold.

With the new album, are there any certain themes that you’re exploring?

Yes. Very dream world heavy, I would say. I think we play a lot with the feeling in your dreams where you don’t have that feeling of doubt, the ability to do things in dreams that you can’t do. I don’t know, I feel like in my dreams, I’m not — I mean, sometimes I am, which is concerning — scrolling on my phone in dreams. I think in dreams, we play a lot with that consciousness that’s like you just accept the things that are happening in dreams, even though they’re absurd.

I think that the way that the dreams fit in, there are a couple of songs that are inspired by dreams — well, a few of them are dreams — and then one of them is like I went to the dentist and they gave me way too much laughing gas and I tripped out in my head. That whole experience is also in one of the songs, but I think that it feels like all confronting something unknown, and I think, in your dreams, that can feel like something really huge and imaginative and grand. Then in the smaller moments on the record, it’s like more life, things that are really real but feel scary or unknown or feel like there’s doubt or insecurity in that. And we are learning from our dream selves in moments how to show up for the moments that are more real in your real life. But I would say, confronting the unknown, dreams. We’re feeling quite playful on the record, so we’re really building worlds, song to song, and letting our imaginative side be free. At least while we were writing, it felt that way.

And then the second half of the record is more about some somber stuff. There’s one song that’s about death, and there’s another song about what you do for the rest of your life.

The existential questions.
