DINERS Share New Single 'Someday I'll Go Surfing'

DOMINO, the new album from Blue Broderick aka Diners, was recorded with a very specific direction from friend and album producer, Mo Troper: channel Diners’ vintage 70s pop sound into a ripping rock n roll record.

The final result of those recording sessions can be heard on August 18th when the album is released via Bar/None Records. Today, Diners follows early singles – “Domino,” the album’sinstant classic title track pitting Beach Boys-esque backing harmonies against crackling guitar chords; and the raucous lead single, “The Power” – with her new single and video for jangly, affirming jam “Someday I’ll Go Surfing.” 

“Someday I’ll get my wings / Before I fall asleep, I always find a moment to dream” sings Diners on their new track, which is not only an ode to sunny days but an empowering anthem of forward motion. "'Someday I'll Go Surfing' isn't exclusively about surfing,” notes Broderick, “but rather confronting the unknown and moving on to the next big thing."

Diners first began in Phoenix, crafting smart, lo-fi pop songs with a knack for impossibly catchy, inviting melodies. The forthcoming DOMINO comes in the wake of Blue's relocation to Los Angeles, and their coming out as transgender. Though the new songs don't explicitly reference her trans identity, Broderick believes the album couldn’t have been written without the freeing and energizing experience of coming out.

It’s also the loudest record they’ve ever made, thanks in part to producer and power pop enthusiast Mo Troper’s intent to wrangle Broderick’s soft spoken 70’s sound into a ripping rock n roll record. Though initially unmoored by all the cracking snares and guitar feedback, Blue explains “This is the rock record that I always wanted to make. I know that any time I turn it on, it’s what I set out to do.” 

To celebrate the new album and sonic overhaul, Diners will embark on a run of headline tour dates kicking off in Los Angeles before joining Chris Farren on a national tour that includes stops in New York, Philly, DC, Austin & more.
