Gambaré kira-kira dua taun sadurunge, "Everything I Wanted" ndadekake titik balik kanggo frontwoman Julie Dawson ing ngatur album anyar lan nyedhiyakake ing fokus salah siji saka tema inti album. "Itu minangka lagu kang jinis nyetel nada kanggo album iki," Julie nglarengake. "Itu utamané babagan harapan vs realitas. Ana ide iki, aku pikir kita kabeh dadi mangsa kanggo, yen sawetara kita nampa apa-apa utawa njaluk apa-apa kita wis kabeh ora wis kapanggih sing kita bakal dadi bahagia - nanging iku ora ana. iku kabeh iku, apa-apa ing ngisor iki, aku mau luwih.

The single’s artwork was designed by Dublin-based, self-taught embroidery artist Domino Whisker, whose vivid, emotionally charged tapestries explore themes of memory, healing, and hope.
Sekarang punch katarak saka singel pisanan "Roobosh” lan kepenuhan wistful saka pengganti kasebut “Pretty,” the new single arrives with a sense of reckoning that runs throughout Altar. Written across the aftermath of NewDad’s relocation from Galway to London, the record weighs sacrifice against ambition, and identity against survival. For Dawson, who still feels the pull of home daily, Altar is both a love letter to Galway and a document of the emotional cost of leaving it behind. “The album itself is where I divulge my love for home,” dia ngleksanakake. “It’s the idea that Ireland is the altar and it’s the thing that I worship, in a way."
Thematically, rekaman dumunung ing push-and-pull antarane impian lan realitas: homeickness lan healing (“Pretty”), rage and release (“Roobosh”), self-doubt lan resilience (“Everything I Wanted”). Sonically, iku ndeleng NewDad nyebarake suara ing luwih tajam, luwih pop-leaning spaces nalika nyimpen tekstur dream-pop sing pisanan nggawe loro salah siji saka band muda paling menarik Irlandia. Prodhuksi lan setengah co-written dening Shrink (Sam Breathwick), karo setengah pisanan co-written karo Justin Parker, Altar is pernyataan paling berani, paling yakin band iki.
