Dizzy share their latest track, "Knock The Wind", as the final taster of their forthcoming album which is set for release on Friday.

“A few months ago I had my heart set on moving from Ontario to somewhere out east in Canada,” Katie Munshaw says. “I’ve always been really drawn to the sea, and whales in particular. My childhood bedroom was covered in ocean wallpaper, my bed sheets patterned to look like water. "Knock The Wind" is a rumination on how you can live somewhere your whole life and never really feel at home. It was the first song we recorded with our producer, David, and it set the tone for the rest of our time together.”

The new single follows "Open Up Wide", and "Close", which were released earlier this year. Their forthcoming self-titled album is the first since 2020's The Sun and Her Scorch.

Munshaw leads Dizzy into their next chapter donning a striking mask on the cover and throughout the visuals, depicting a Jane Doe of sorts.

“When it was time to discuss visuals for the album I had serious anxiety about being on camera,” she explains. “I find it strange how musicians are often introverted people yet one of the largest parts of our job is visually selling ourselves to an audience. It feels unnatural to pine for strangers' attention to afford rent or whatever, and as someone who’s particularly sensitive it isn’t sustainable. To me the mask not only represents a calloused version of myself but it lends itself to an anonymity that I love. I like the idea of a female artist making the conscious decision to take her appearance out of the question for the audience.”

The mask, however, is not designed to fully shield Munshaw from the listeners. “There’s not a lot of mystery on the album,” she says.

"Knock The Wind" is out now. Dizzy will be released on 18 August via Communion Records and is available to pre-order.
