Dream Nails return with Pixies-inspired track, "This is Water"

“We are so lucky to have worked with Ali on this song. He has worked with some true British icons,” shares bassist/vocalist Mimi Jasson. “With Ali, we indulged in our playful edge, experimenting with pedals and exploring sounds that teased out the themes of the song. When I said I wanted my voice to evoke something intimate on This is Water, he ran my vocals through a Hammond organ, the rotating Leslie speaker created a sound that resembles being underwater”.

“This song is inspired by a speech given by the late writer David Foster Wallace, who tells a story about two fish swimming along in the ocean. One fish remarks, ‘The water’s nice today!’ to which the other fish replies, ‘What’s water?’,” explains drummer Lucy Katz. “We are immersed in ourselves! The lyrics convey the idea of becoming so stuck in our own sticky experiences and identities that we struggle to truly relate to one another. We are all fish, and we are all swimming.”
