Los Angeles-based project Drugdealer officially announce their forthcoming album Hiding In Plain Sight, due on October 28th via Mexican Summer.
The album features Tim Presley (White Fence), Kate Bollinger, Bambina, Sasha Winn, Sean Nicholas Savage, Video Age, and John Carroll Kirby amongst others.
Alongside the announcement, Drugdealer shares new single “Someone to Love“ along with a video directed by James Manson and Drugdealer’s own Michael Collins. The new track marks their second musical offering of the year following the June single “Madison.” Led by frontman and primary songwriter Michael Collins, Drugdealer expands on their 1960s and 70s-inspired sonics with the new single while the visuals see Collins on a night drive through the city and dancing around a neon-lit club as he performs the track.
Speaking about the new song, Collins says:
“‘Someone to Love’ came out of an impromptu extended jam that my band and I developed show by show on the last full US tour. Then when we got home and I started working on this new stuff I realized it was one of the best moments of us naturally playing. I turned it into a fully fleshed out song about wanting to be truly loved unconditionally, and pretty instantly became my favorite thing I had written and pretty much still sits there. The recorded version is really boosted by contributing performances from John Carroll Kirby and Video Age, who help give this track a unique feel. It definitely breaks out of a certain sound or form that I have been using in this project, and went more faithfully into a real soul tribute that I never thought I’d be able to represent as a lead vocalist.”
