New Dada Trash Collage album may have me kissing strangers in May

Okay, so I’m a huge Dada Trash Collage fan. HUGE. I wrote about the band’s 3-track Rain EP and interviewed them back in January. At the time, I was not too proud to high-five strangers and mention the band to random hipsters on the street. So what?

Well, they have a new full-length, and I’m more than psyched.

Check out the single off the new album here:
Dada Trash Collage : “In Season” (mp3)

The group worked with producer Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective) on the sessions that resulted in both the Rain EP and this new full-length, Neighbors, which comes out May 4.

I may start kissing strangers now, and it goes without saying it’s going to be weird when my wife finds out.

Here’s a quote from Billy Freed (Samples, Vocals) on the songwriting process:

Most of the time songs will start out with me thinking something like “it’d be cool to do a tune with a piano loop that doesn’t feel like it has a time signature, and then this heavy rhythmic thing comes in and blah, blah, blah” after that it’s sort of just finding that initial part and then building on it with field recordings and sounds and what not. I have a hard time accepting vocal melodies that I think people would expect over whatever is going on, so a good amount of the time I’ll end up re-writing the vocals over and over and then just combining all the idea’s into one thing.
