Out now on Better Noise Music, 7 Seas is the new album from RIAA Platinum certified Dirty Heads, and with it their latest single ‘2 Young‘, a duet between the band’s singer and guitarist Dustin Bushnell (Duddy B) and his daughter Sophia Lynn.
“I remember Sophia sitting in a high chair while we were writing ‘Lay Me Down‘, so to now have her featuring on our album is very special. Her voice was meant for this song,” said Duddy.
Sophia Lynn weighed in about the track’s heft, saying, “Getting to work with Dirty Heads was such a full circle moment for me. This track is so meaningful, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it. As someone who’s just stepping into a new chapter of life after graduating high school, these lyrics really resonate with me. Growing up is exciting, but it can also be confusing, overwhelming, and messy. I hope this song reminds people that at whatever stage in life they’re at, it’s okay to not have everything figured out.”
Previously the band released two singles simultaneously, ‘Better‘ and ‘Sound Boy Killa‘, that you can read about and watch the videos to at RAMzine. While prior to that came first single ‘Seven Seas‘, that RAMzine featured. Between them it was ‘One Of Those Days‘, and you can check out the video below. Dustin B commenting on it: “This is a song about getting together with some close friends and just enjoying the moment. With everything going on in the world today, it’s nice to have a lighthearted song like this to remind us to go have a good time.”
The band’s percussionist Jon Olazabal also added: “‘One Of Those Days‘ is a quintessential Dirty Heads song. It feels like something you want to blast in your car and sing along with at the end of a long week. It’s about getting together with the people you love and having a good time,” further noting, “We recorded this song out in Nashville, which has sort of become our second home for writing and recording music.”
About the album, Olazabal said, “This album has something for everyone. Every mood, every vibe, every occasion. Having beers at the beach? Gotcha covered. Need some hype ass, late night bangers? Gotcha covered there, too. And everything in between, as well. We worked our asses off on this record, and as a band and individuals, we’ve been through a lot during the process. We are stoked to release it into the wild and for people to find their own connections with these songs.”
7 Seas is Dirty Heads‘ ninth full-length album.
The band have also launched a collaboration with 4ocean, a global organisation on a mission to end the ocean plastic crisis. Frontman Jared Watson embarked on an excursion alongside the 4ocean team. Together they picked up trash from the shoreline of Key Largo at the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. The trash collected on the excursion has been recycled into a Dirty Heads 4ocean bracelet. Fans can help 4ocean pull even more plastic out of the ocean by buying the bracelets, either individually or as part of a very special and very limited premium vinyl edition of the new album.
