DWLLRS RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM CAMERAMAN OUT NOW
GEARING UP FOR 2025 NORTH AMERICAN HEADLINE TOUR
Jan. 24, 2025 – DWLLRS—the southern California-rooted duo of childhood friends Bren Eissman and Joey Spurgeon—excitedly present their anxiously awaited full-length debut album, Cameraman, available on all platforms today via Island Records. Listen HERE.
The 14-track body of work speaks to the breadth of the band’s bold artistry with each song serving as a memory from their experiences of growing up. In their words ““’Cameraman’ is an album about perspective and the passing of time. We view our past experiences as a movie that we played a part in. Overcome by nostalgia — we attempt to use this perspective as a way to grow and reconcile the fleeting nature of everything we know and love.”
Opener and title track “Cameraman” revolves around heavenly synths, cloudy beat-craft, and introspective vocal musings. Granting the listener a glimpse through the viewfinder, it culminates on the clever chorus, “My life’s just like a movie, but I’m the cameraman,”, a mantra that represents how life is With windows down and speakers turned up, a buoyant electric guitar lick sets “Driving” in motion. The track’s destination just so happens to be an intimate and infectious refrain, “Driving alone, - “thinking bout the times, wrongs were feeling right” ”
Then, there’s the life-affirming closer “We’re Doing Fine.” Dreamy clean guitar echoes like a lullaby, complementing the pensive lyrics and steady beat. The guys take stock of past trials and tribulations on thoughtful verses. Musically, handclaps and breezy guitar careen over organic drums. Picking up the pace, the song reaches its climax on the chorus, “And I can see the world before I say goodbye. I said I’m doing fine.” It offers a fitting sendoff.
