Molly Burch announces new album Daydreamer

"Physical" was produced by Jack Tatum of Wild Nothings, and is the second song that the pair worked on, following 2020's "Emotion". “When deciding who would produce Daydreamer I knew I wanted it to be Jack as soon as I started writing. We have similar taste and sensibilities and I look up to him so much,” Burch says.

Having recently relocated to her hometown of Los Angeles, the beginnings of her latest album came together after Burch found her old diaries from age 13 and younger. “Growing up I was extremely shy and filled with self hatred. I would hide out in my bedroom to watch TV and daydream," she shares.

"I was so uncomfortable in my body and that was the age I started dealing with body dysmorphia, which later formed into an eating disorder. It was also the age I started realising I could sing, and how badly I wanted to pursue that, but told myself I couldn’t."

"I examined my insecurities, the mean stories I would create about myself, and the body issues that had plagued me for too long. I decided, through songwriting, to look back at formative life moments, to connect with the reasons why I’ve dedicated my life to music and also try to heal old and still open wounds," Burch continues. "This album is dedicated not only to my thirteen year-old self, but the thirteen year-old selves that still linger within all of us."

Daydreamer follows the 2021 album, Romantic Images.
