Dizzy Announces Self-Titled New Album, Shares New Song “Open Up Wide”
Canadian indie pop band Dizzy, consisting of Katie Munshaw (vocals), Alex Spencer (guitar), Mackenzie Spencer (bass), Charlie Spencer (drums), announced their self-titled third studio album would be released on August 18, 2023.
The album comprises 12-track, produced by David Pramik.
From the album, the band released the third single called “Open Up Wide” on March 29, 2023.
The track was written by Alexander Spencer, Charlie Spencer, Katie Munshaw and Mackenzie Spencer. Produced by David Pramik and Charles Spencer.
Katie Munshaw said of the song, “When we started recording the album, our producer David [Pramik] was super conscious of cutting the fat from each song. One afternoon he encouraged us to write our parts in a simpler, more 'spoonfed' fashion for easy listening, when Mack piped up cheekily 'Open up wide! Here comes the airplane!' The next morning we were all feeling a bit resentful of that mindset and 'Open Up Wide' came to be while we were having our morning coffees.”- The accompanying music visualizer was directed by boy wonder.
Katie Munshaw said of the video, “When it was time to discuss visuals for the album I had serious anxiety about being on camera. 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.”
She continued, “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.” - source : Apple Music
