The Dangerous Summer have released a new single today, “Valium”, the third off their upcoming album The Dangerous Summer, out January 26th via Hopeless Records. Check out the static visual video for “Valium” below.
The release of “Valium” follows the first two singles off the album, “Fire” and “Ghosts“, along with an official music video for each.
Fans will be able to stream the song on Apple Music and Spotify, from Wednesday morning.
The band’s forthcoming album, their first in four years, looks to build on an already accomplished discography, approaching the next stage of their career with an overwhelming optimism that’s never been stronger. This isn’t a rehash: it’s a band acknowledging their past with eyes turned squarely toward the future. Most importantly, it’s a reunion led by the music instead of the ancillary trappings of the industry. In their time away from the band, the trio had plenty of time to figure out who and where they wanted to be, and they’ve all returned to a shared place.
“No one owes us anything,” says singer and songwriter AJ Perdomo, who became a father during the band’s hiatus. “We have to prove ourselves again. We’re giving our entire selves to this. We were always just grinding so hard because we needed to do it for a living, just trying to get by. We’re not going to be grinding out 100-day tours; we conquered that. We finally got to the point where we don’t need this – we want it.”
The Dangerous Summer’s upcoming self-titled album was produced by James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Dashboard Confessional, Paramore) and is now available for pre-order here: smarturl.it/TDSST
