Dreamer Boy release his new album, Lonestar, via slowplay/Capitol Records. The album is a complex balance of duality: pure associations with Southern culture and the textures of Americana are woven with the creation of a larger-than-life persona—the beaten-down Rodeo Clown depicted on the album’s cover.
At its heart, the album is about finding yourself. “You start off running away,” says Dreamer Boy, who was born Zach Taylor. “You’re literally like, ‘Get me out of my parents’ house, get me out into the world.’ But then you start to run back to some of those things.”
After his sweetly psychedelic debut album, Love, Nostalgia, 2021’s heartfelt follow-up, All the Ways We Are Together, and tours with Clairo, Omar Apollo, The Marías, Still Woozy, and others, Dreamer Boy firmly steps out of the bedroom and on to the highways on Lonestar.
Moving from Nashville to Los Angeles, he found his new direction as he watched the miles pass. Driving through his childhood home of Texas and visiting his grandfather’s farm three times in a year instilled a sense of connectivity to the South he’d lost touch with.
“I felt myself needing to hold that as a fixture in my heart as I was going out West again. I felt the need to attach to my spirit the tone and feeling of those places."
