Dear Seattle have announced the forthcoming release of their third
album TOY.
The quartet will drop their new LP – following 2019 debut Don’t
Let Go and 2022 follow-up Someday – on January 17, 2025 via Domestic La La,
with new banger Evergreen out now.
Speaking about that track, Dear Seattle share in a collective
statement: “Evergreen sits in the centre of my struggles with emotional
honesty. To others, yeah, but more importantly to myself.
“It’s all too common for people, men especially, to bottle up
their emotions and avoid confronting the way they feel, because we were never
really taught how. So we sit and we stew and we wallow in our thoughts far
longer than we ever should. Be it love, fear, anger, guilt, or lust occupying
us, learning how to honestly and vulnerably communicate the way we feel is the
most useful tool we can master. I’ve always struggled with a feeling of
inadequacy, which led me down the path of perfectionism and forever being my
own worst critic.
“For me, learning to open up and let it out was the sole difference
between melancholy and evergreen.”
