THE PACK A.D. SHARE TITLE TRACK OFF THEIR FORTHCOMING LP DOLLHOUSE + REVEAL TRACK LISTING, ALBUM ART AND MORE TOUR DATES
PRE-ORDER DOLLHOUSE NOW
Last month, Vancouver duo The Pack A.D. announced their forthcoming album Dollhouse will be out October 13 via Cadence Music and today they have shared the title track”Dollhouse”.
On the track, lead singer/guitarist Becky Black says, “We live in a dollhouse. A tiny, warm, fragile bubble. We exist only because it exists. We are confined to it, as we are confined to our individual minds. The instability of our current climate, both political and global, should be enough to unnerve anyone. Whether we choose to accept and believe this reality, collectively, and make the necessary changes… That is a great unknown. May you live in interesting times, indeed.”
Dollhouse wastes no time addressing those issues with its nine tracks clocking in at just under 30 minutes, making it the band’s most succinct album yet. Recorded under the smoke-drenched skies of Vancouver, B.C. at Raincity Recorders, during one of the provinces worst wildfire seasons ever, Dollhouse is a product of the gloom that surrounds them and the rest of the world in these politically turbulent times. It’s an album that equally explores the personal and political, with the concept of a dollhouse acting as “both a reminder of the closed ecosystem we all inhabit, the grander scale, and the minuscule confines of our individual minds, neither of which we can escape from,”as Black explains. The anxiety of existing is a through-line in the lyrics on Dollhouse.
The band will head out on an extensive North American tour this fall, that will include dates in Toronto, Montreal and a very special hometown show in Vancouver at Rickshaw on December 8. Check out the full itinerary below.
