Texas dreampop band Nuclear Daisies will deliver their new album next month.

First Taste of Heaven will be released on August 1 via Portrayal of Guilt Records. The nine-track album was recorded at Hungry Dog Sound & Studio in Austin, Texas. A new single from the record titled “Infinite Joy” can be heard here.

Robby Williams said this about what inspired the new album:

“I’d say it wasn’t specific productions but more specific vibes that we wanted to emulate. We had clear visions of how we wanted certain songs to not only sound, but feel too– very sci-fi and dystopian. One song we wanted to feel like attending the vampire rave from ‘Blade’– tense, pulsing, but also a little bit dangerous. We wanted a different track to feel like the underground rave at the end of the world from ‘The Matrix’ - just sort of this lawless party of no rules at the end of days. There were also times when Alex would be in the booth and we’d say ‘sing it like you’re crying’ or ‘try it like a dead choir member.’ There are a lot of wild influences in there that come from disparate places and not just conventional ideas.”

Pre-orders for First Taste of Heaven can be made here. This is the follow-up to Nuclear Daisies’ 2022 self-titled debut album. On July 25, the band will have a record release show at Austin’s Mohawk with special guests Portrayal of Guilt and Daze. Tickets can be purchased here.
