WATCH THE PREMIERE:
LISTEN TO “DREAM WORLD”:
LOS ANGELES – Not even a global pandemic can keep The Growlers from debuting the music video for their latest single “Dream World.” Released on May 8, “Dream World” instantly went platinum on Spotify, with appearances on their New Music Friday, All New Indie, and The New Alt playlists, and was branded “A jangly slice of escapism” by Consequence of Sound and “Masterful” by Rolling Stone. Fans can tune into the world video premiere on YouTube tonight, June 25 at 7pm PST / 10 pm EST on the band’s YouTube channel. Additionally, Brooks Nielsen of The Growlers will go live on the official Growlers Instagram at 6:30PM PST direct before the video premiere. This will be his first ever Instagram Live appearance.
Directed by The Growlers’ longtime creative partner Taylor Bonin and starring singer Brooks Nielsen, the video imagines an alternate Southern California universe where the possibility of love is just a dream away. From Malibu to Hollywood to Chinatown (and of course, the beach), Nielsen’s character finds companionship in a world without people – except for one special friend, Heather the Doll, the latest addition to The Growlers’ surreal cast of characters.
“Coronavirus forced us to be creative,” said Nielsen. “We needed to tap into something and make our own dream world. I knew we were gonna get lucky. I’m just a believer in trying, and we had fun filming it together, cracking up but also pulling it off.” Produced by a skeleton crew of Nielsen, Bonin, and their wives Melisa Nielsen and Steph Hulewicz, the “Dream World” video invites us all to embrace the other side, whatever that might be….
About The Growlers
Long synonymous with the seedy, surfy, psychedelic communities of Costa Mesa and Dana Point, CA, The Growlers have evolved into a songwriting and touring force majeure, courting Hollywood and collaborating with producers Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) and Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, The War On Drugs) to make contemporary pop music that plays as well at the dive bar as it does on the dancefloor. Following a string of multimillion-streaming singles – like “City Club” (23m+ Spotify plays), “Night Ride” (27m+) and “Dope on a Rope” (26m+) – the band launched their 2019 Natural Affair World Tour, from three sold-out shows at LA’s legendary Hollywood Palladium, to a month-long run in Australia and Europe.
“Where love is a treasure
That’s the world I choose to remember
Make a dream last forever
Close your eyes –
But never surrender”
