Am heutigen 1. Mai veroeffentlichen DEAD LAKES aus Seattle ihre neue EP "New Language" via SharpTone Records. Die fuenf Songs wurden produziert von Erik Ron (Godsmack, Dance Gavin Dance, Set It Off). Anbei stellt die Band um Frontmann Sumner Peterson einen Videoclip zur Single "SMS Happiness" vor. Peterson kommentiert:
“I like to write in a way that is, sometimes considered, maybe too straightforward. I used to write lyrics in more metaphorical ways, whereas now I just say exactly what I mean. For me, there’s a different level of vulnerability writing this way. It’s a little nerve-wracking to have thousands of people know where I’m at mentally when I still haven’t really opened up with the people close to me. Release days double as ‘I finally get to figure out what’s going on in Sumner’s head’ days for a lot of people close to me. I think it’s important to be honest and open with lyric writing because that’s what gives the listener something to really relate to in a genuine and raw way"
