د ایرلینډ الټ-روک ټریو NewDad د دوی په اوږدو کې انتظار شوي دویم الوتکې، Altar, د Atlantic Records له لارې نن، د خپل تمرکز ټری "د نندارتون. د انډول په لټه کې دلته.

د کلاستروفوبیا او داخلي تناوب په لټه کې یو آواز، “Misery” د frontwoman جولی ډوزن په ناڅاپي چرګونو کې د هغې د خپل نقشې پوښتنه کوي. " دا یو آواز ده چې څنګه ځینې وختونه په یو ناڅاپي او ناڅاپي ځای کې د بدلون کولو او ستاسو د ژوند د ښه کولو لپاره هڅه کولو په پرتله اسانه ده." هغه توضیح کوي. " په عمده توګه، دا ډیر آسانه ده چې د کارونو په پرتله د حل کولو لپاره. په لیوریکي توګه، ډیری ډیری ډیری ډیری ډیری ډیری ډیری ډیری ډیری دی، یوازې ځکه چې دا احساس کوي چې دا باید د آواز د انرژۍ سره مطابقت وکړي. زه احساس وکړم چې زه د دې سره حقیقي تفریح کولی شي. "‍

د "د سپارښتنه,” the wistful tenderness of “Pretty,” and the self-doubt reckoning of “Everything I Wanted,” the arrival of “Misery” crystallizes the themes that run 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, Altar is both a love letter to Galway and a document of the emotional cost of leaving it behind. Speaking on the album, she adds: “Altar is an exploration of my relationship with home, of being a woman in the music industry, appeasing people, and making sacrifices in order to succeed. It’s about the difference between the peace and serenity of home versus the often suffocating nature of London,” she reflects. “The album itself is where I divulge my love for home. It’s the idea that Ireland is the altar and it’s the thing that I worship, in a way.”‍

Combining raw vulnerability with razor-sharp ambition, Altar finds the band - Julie Dawson (vocals/guitar), Sean O’Dowd (guitar), and Fiachra Parslow (drums) - shattering the boundaries laid during their 2024 debut Madra, expanding and evolving in both sound and emotional clarity. Where that record reflected on angsty teenage pasts, Altar ushers in a refreshing new era: new feelings, new realizations, and newfound confidence. Dawson’s sharp lyricism and heightened emotional clarity anchor the record, guiding NewDad to deliver their boldest and most confident statement yet. “I’ve learned to trust my gut on this record. I’ve learned to own who I am – messy and a bit awkward. And I don’t need anyone to tell me how to look, act, or feel.”‍

Produced by rising talent Shrink (Sam Breathwick), Altar deftly balances sparkling dream-pop with heavier, alt-rock textures - a sound that feels expansive, bright, and urgent. Its push-and-pull captures the emotional landscape Dawson inhabits: homesickness and healing (“Pretty”), rage and release (“Roobosh”), self-doubt and resilience (“Everything I Wanted” - co-written with long-term collaborator Justin Parker), and the surreal spirals of “Misery.” Altar rounds off a prolific period for Julie Dawson following the critical acclaim of NewDad’s 2024 debut album Madra, followed by her solo project Bottom Of The Pool to cement her growing status as an indie songwriting phenom.

Since their debut single “How” in 2020, NewDad have steadily built a global reputation for their immersive alt-rock. Their acclaimed debut Madra saw them tour extensively across the UK, Europe, Asia, and North America, supporting heavyweights like Pixies, The War on Drugs, and Fontaines D.C., while earning over 80M streams and the admiration of their hero Robert Smith.

Now, with Altar, NewDad are poised to ascend to new creative heights. Following their biggest-ever run of headline shows across China, Japan, and North America, the trio will take the album on the road this autumn for a UK/EU headline run, culminating in their largest London show yet at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. With the full line-up just announced, NewDad will also make their Coachella debut in April next year.
