Molly Burch has announced a new LP, Daydreamer, out September 29 via Captured Tracks (pre-order). The album was produced by Jack Tatum, and Molly took inspiration from her old diaries writing it. “Growing up I was extremely shy and filled with self hatred. I would hide out in my bedroom to watch TV and daydream. I was so uncomfortable in my body and that was the age I started dealing with body dysmorphia, which later formed into an eating disorder. It was also the age I started realizing I could sing, and how badly I wanted to pursue that, but told myself I couldn’t,” Molly says. “I see myself as a daydreamer. Someone who uses their imagination to escape reality when sadness and longing begins. When I think of my most prominent daydreaming years, I see an insecure and introverted thirteen year old hiding out in her bedroom… This album is dedicated not only to my thirteen year-old self, but the thirteen year-old selves that still linger within all of us.” Check out the cover art and tracklist for Daydreamer below.
The first glimpse at the album comes from chilled, synth-driven track “Physical,” which Molly wrote about her experience with PMS. The song ebbs with soaring, ethereal vocals and catchy synth-pop riffs. Watch the video below.
