Heaven (Dilly Dally album)

[14] On June 26, 2018, Dilly Dally announced the release of their second studio album, along with the first single "I Feel Free".

[17] The title of the track came about with the legalization of marijuana in Canada, with Monks' explaining "We’ve been inhaling so much fear and hate from our televisions, our leaders, social media.

[1] Andy Johnston of The 405 explained: "For an album that’s purportedly all about hope and positivity, Heaven is an almost oppressively heavy listen.

The full-blooded energy and youthful, lascivious abandon of the band’s 2015 debut, Sore, is present only in trace elements, replaced by a palpably depressive, inescapably doom-laden mood, punctuated only briefly by bursts of light.

explained: "While Sore was a ferocious and sludgy monster, Heaven feels tamer—a sturdy shoulder to lean on rather than mosh your pent-up rage to.

Amidst hazy guitar riffs, melodic bass tones, and the frequent swap of Katie Monks' vocals from her distinctively raspy howl to more subdued singing, Heaven manifests as its own beast entirely.
