Soda Blonde have announced details of their second album ‘Dream Big’ which is set for release on September 6th on Overbite Records. The follow-up to 20211’s Choice Music Prize nominated debut ‘Small Talk’ is previewed by new single ‘Bad Machine’ which indicates the group could be leaning into a new grittier sound going forward.

“We can be slaves to our own impulses,” says guitarist Adam O’Regan of the turbulent, sonically charged song. “This idea that ‘every part of me is a bad machine breaking everything all the time, every part of me has been wired to repeat, I’ve got a bad desire by design,’ it’s this idea of recognizing that this is just a part of who you are and going with that; but it’s a double- edged sword. Sometimes taking a chance, being spontaneous and taking a risk – they’re not always the safest moves to make, but that propensity to dare is what makes us great. We wouldn’t exist without it.”

News of ‘Dream Big’ is accompanied by the announcement of an Irish winter tour which concludes in Dublin’s Vicar Street on December 14th. Support for those shows, including Soda Blonde’s London date in The Lexington will come from Northern Ireland’s Jealous of The Birds. Full tour dates below. Pre-order Dream Big
