DEZ DARE RELEASES NEW SINGLE ‘10,000 MONKEYS + AN ARGUMENT WITH TIME’

12th February 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Dez Dare is back with another mind-melting cut from his forthcoming new album ‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ due March 1^st via God Unknown Records.

Intriguingly titled ’10, 000 Monkeys + An Argument With Time’, the new single is two minutes and 48 seconds of squelchy, psychedelic electro-punk genius. Dez says “time is kicking us all while we scramble around this rocky mass. If time passes slower closer to the mass, get HI to get perspective!”

The concept stems from the elasticity of time as a dimension and where we sit within it. Someone living at the top of a mountain will experience time faster than someone on the ground as they are closer to the mass. Maybe if we all took a step back, took to the hills, or even further… we might just see the world a bit clearer.

‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ features 11 songs that delve further into the void than previous records, leaving the sardonic frustration behind for sarcastic existentialism, zeroing in on the big philosophical questions, and the pedantic shards of nonsense that make up our existence.

The self-produced Australian has spent over 3 decades producing music, releasing and touring bands, and doing live sound for Z-grade metal bands. Growing up in the coastal town of Geelong (Djilang) in Australia, he was introduced to the DIY punk and rock scene at 15 and this community and the ideas rooted in the underground music scene have guided his output and ethics throughout his career.

This year Dez will be joining forces with label titans God Unknown (Cassels / Duke Garwood / James Johnston + Steve Gullick / KLÄMP / Oneida / Laura Loriga / Monster Magnet / Wellwater Conspiracy [Soundgarden + Monster Magnet]) and will be producing a deluxe version of the release that will include a 12 page comic illustrated by long-time collaborator Mike Keane.

‘Got A Fire In My Socket’ out now. ‘A Billion Goats. A Billion Sparks. Fin.’ out March 1st on God Unknown Records.
