Lyrically, the drama is definitely heightened just because it felt like it had to be to match the energy of the song. I felt like I could have real fun with this one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the cathartic punch of \u201cRoobosh,\u201d the wistful tenderness of \u201cPretty,\u201d and the self-doubt reckoning of \u201cEverything I Wanted,\u201d the arrival of \u201cMisery\u201d crystallizes the themes that run throughout Altar. Written across the aftermath of NewDad\u2019s relocation from Galway to London, the record weighs sacrifice against ambition, and identity against survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NewDad - Pretty (Official Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QOeTyiTjy3g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NewDad - Roobosh (Official Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7iZ4E4faWTk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NewDad - Everything I Wanted\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TKgRh8gqX80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Dawson, <em>Altar <\/em>is both a love letter to Galway and a document of the emotional cost of leaving it behind. Speaking on the album, she adds: \u201cAltar is an exploration of my relationship with home, of being a woman in the music industry, appeasing people, and making sacrifices in order to succeed. It\u2019s about the difference between the peace and serenity of home versus the often suffocating nature of London,\u201d she reflects. \u201cThe album itself is where I divulge my love for home. It\u2019s the idea that Ireland is the altar and it\u2019s the thing that I worship, in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/femmusic.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Altar.jpg\" alt=\"Altar\" class=\"wp-image-108121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/femmusic.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Altar-600x445.jpg 600w, https:\/\/femmusic.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Altar-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/femmusic.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Altar-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Combining raw vulnerability with razor-sharp ambition, <em>Altar<\/em> finds the band &#8211; Julie Dawson (vocals\/guitar), Sean O\u2019Dowd (guitar), and Fiachra Parslow (drums) &#8211; shattering the boundaries laid during their 2024 debut <em>Madra<\/em>, expanding and evolving in both sound and emotional clarity. Where that record reflected on angsty teenage pasts,<em> Altar <\/em>ushers in a refreshing new era: new feelings, new realizations, and newfound confidence. Dawson\u2019s sharp lyricism and heightened emotional clarity anchor the record, guiding NewDad to deliver their boldest and most confident statement yet. \u201cI\u2019ve learned to trust my gut on this record. I\u2019ve learned to own who I am \u2013 messy and a bit awkward. And I don\u2019t need anyone to tell me how to look, act, or feel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Produced by rising talent Shrink (Sam Breathwick), Altar deftly balances sparkling dream-pop with heavier, alt-rock textures &#8211; a sound that feels expansive, bright, and urgent. Its push-and-pull captures the emotional landscape Dawson inhabits: homesickness and healing (\u201cPretty\u201d), rage and release (\u201cRoobosh\u201d), self-doubt and resilience (\u201cEverything I Wanted\u201d &#8211; co-written with long-term collaborator Justin Parker), and the surreal spirals of \u201cMisery.\u201d Altar rounds off a prolific period for Julie Dawson following the critical acclaim of NewDad\u2019s 2024 debut album <em>Madra<\/em>, followed by her solo project <em>Bottom Of The Pool <\/em>to cement her growing status as an indie songwriting phenom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with&nbsp;<em>Altar<\/em>, NewDad are poised to ascend to new creative heights. Following their biggest-ever run of headline shows across China, Japan, and North America, the trio will take the album on the road this autumn for a UK\/EU headline run, culminating in their largest London show yet at the&nbsp;O2 Forum Kentish Town.&nbsp;With the full line-up just announced, NewDad will also make their&nbsp;Coachella debut&nbsp;in&nbsp;April next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OCTOBER<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2nd &#8211; Norway, Oslo &#8211; John Dee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3rd &#8211; Sweden, Stockholm &#8211; Nalen Klubb<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5th &#8211; Denmark, Copenhagen &#8211; Vega Small Room<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6th &#8211; Germany, Hamburg &#8211; Nochtspeicher<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7th &#8211; Germany, Berlin &#8211; Lido<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9th &#8211; Italy, Milan &#8211; Arci Bellezza<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10th &#8211; Switzerland, Zurich &#8211; Bogen F<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11th &#8211; France, Paris &#8211; La Maroquinerie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>13th &#8211; Belgium, Brussels &#8211; Botanique<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>14th &#8211; Netherlands, Amsterdam &#8211; Melkweg Old Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>15th &#8211; France, Lille &#8211; L\u2019Aeronef<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>18th &#8211; United Kingdom, Manchester &#8211; Academy 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>19th &#8211; United Kingdom, Sheffield &#8211; The Foundry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>20th &#8211; United Kingdom, Glasgow &#8211; SWG3 TV Studio<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>22nd &#8211; United Kingdom, Bristol &#8211; Bristol Electric<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>23rd &#8211; United Kingdom, Cardiff &#8211; Tramshed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24th &#8211; United Kingdom, Birmingham &#8211; XOYO<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>26th &#8211; United Kingdom, Brighton &#8211; Chalk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>28th &#8211; United Kingdom, London &#8211; O2 Forum Kentish Town<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>31st &#8211; Ireland, Dublin &#8211; 3Olympia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NOVEMBER<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1st &#8211; Ireland, Cork &#8211; Cyprus Avenue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2nd &#8211; Ireland, Galway &#8211; Leisureland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4th &#8211; United Kingdom, Belfast &#8211; Mandela Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#newdad<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irish alt-rock trio NewDad release their much-anticipated second album, Altar, via Atlantic Records, alongside its focus track \u201cMisery\u201d A song<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111980,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[19339,147,23437,251,22764,20667,20662,20665,19343,18088,19338,20660,19340,20664,20666,20663],"class_list":["post-111979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-videos","tag-altar","tag-atlantic-records","tag-bottom-of-the-pool","tag-coachella","tag-everything-i-wanted","tag-fiachra-parslow","tag-julie-dawson","tag-justin-parker","tag-madra","tag-misery","tag-newdad","tag-pretty","tag-roobosh","tag-sam-breathwick","tag-sean-odowd","tag-shrink"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
