Paisley Underground-era rockers The Dream Syndicate will release their fourth album since reuniting a decade ago this June, and you can get the first taste of the band’s new music via “Where I’ll Stand,” which is both lead single and lead-off track on the record.
Fire Records will release the 10-song “Ultraviolet Battle Hymns and True Confessions” on June 10th, and the album is available now via Bandcamp and other retailers.
Bandleader Steve Wynn says of the new single, which you can hear below: “It feels like an attempt — via the lyrics and the circular chord progression — to impose some kind of order and logic on a world that was severely lacking in both respects at the time.” Wynn put The Dream Syndicate back together in 2012, enlisting original drummer Dennis Duck, bassist Mark Walton (who came on board after 1984’s “Medicine Show”) and guitarist Jason Victor. (Keyboardist Chris Cacavas, formerly of Green on Red, is now an official member of the band, too.)
The reunited Dream Syndicate released their first album in 29 years in 2017, a record titled “How Did I Find Myself Here?“, and follow-ups “These Times” in 2019 and “The Universe Inside” in 2020.
