Fucked Up have announced plans for their next full-length studio effort. Dose Your Dreams will arrive on October 5 through Arts & Crafts/Merge Records.
A press release describes the album as a "sprawling double album in the style of '70s rock opera."
It will be available in 2-CD format with a 20-page booklet and an eight-panel poster, standard 2-LP format with a two-sided newsprint poster, and deluxe 2-LP format on "creamfruit coloured" vinyl with a two-sided newsprint poster. Pre-orders are available here.
The album celebrates a love story in a world where greed, reification, consumerism and social media have taken over our lives. It sees the return of David Eliade — the hero from the band's previous works like David Comes to Life — as he searches for the ability to dream in a hopeless world.
Dose Your Dreams was produced by the band's Mike Haliechuk and Jonah Falco, and features guest contributions from Alice Hansen, Ryan Tong, Jennifer Castle, Lido Pimienta, J Mascis and Miya Folick. Owen Pallett, meanwhile, plays strings across the entire LP.
Pallett also penned the album biography, which reads in part:
I was sent an unfinished version of Dose Your Dreams so that I might contribute string parts. I couldn't stop listening to the rough mixes I received. A friend asked me how the record was. I replied, "My God, Fucked Up have made their Screamadelica."
And psych-rock-groove it is. The drums mixed wide, propensity for drones, for delay pedal, for repetition, groove. The politics and aesthetics of hardcore married to an "open format" approach to genre. Elements of doo-wop, krautrock, groove, digital hardcore.
See the full tracklisting for Dose Your Dreams down below, then hit play to hear the first samples from the album with a video for "Raise Your Voice Joyce" that leads into "Two I's Closed."
