Roots rock icon, the fierce and formidable Dallas Frasca has dropped the third offering of her upcoming ‘Force of Nature’ full-length album in latest single, the fuzzy and buzzy ‘Electric Days’.

The new single follows on from previous releases ‘Stand On My Shoulders’ and ‘River Queen’, erupting with fuzz, guitar-fuelled hooks and explosive 60s Motown-driven percussion. An accompanying lyric video has been released, with Dallas fully embracing the DIY ethic, utilising and editing a fan-filmed video of the performance of ‘Electric Days’ at this year’s Blues on Broadbeach festival.

Dallas reveals the process behind the lyric video coming together.

“A fan sent me a video of me performing Electric Days for the first time I played it at Blues on Broadbeach in May this year. My music business is a fiercely run and very proud one-stop ‘independent music shop’. I edited the video myself and my friend Raymond J Evans put the lyrics on for me. I think too many young artists get deluded by a ‘fantasy’ of a music career. I feel like the music industry model has crumbled and has a long way to go before it finds its way again. Until then I’ll be still connecting with real fans that love the experience of going to shows and supporting artists by buying their merch. My philosophy is that you build your music business one person at a time, however, this is not just my business, this is my/our community. There are opportunities to have a sustainable living from a music career, and what we want our versions of success to look like varies from artist to artist. I have a clear idea of what I want my success story to look like and I feel fortunate to be able to be living my dream. I’m building my little empire and along with that comes hard work and learning the many facets of your own business (and a shit tonne of work, editing videos, designing merch, content creation). I love it. I’d much rather be doing this than a 9-5.”

‘Electric Days’ is unequivocally Dallas Frasca right from that distinct finger-packed blues groove, deepened further by the saturated octaved fuzz guitar, and Dallas’s distinct, irresistible and downright powerful smokey vocal. Playing like she has something to prove (which, to be fair, is Dallas’ modus operandi on every release), ‘Electric Days’ buzzes with enough energy to keep a small city running for weeks, the layers of fuzz sparking throughout the track, propped up by the steadfast rhythm section, and THAT vocal tone. It’s the kind of track to prop you up and strut with purpose.

Self-described as “like a cheer squad from the sideline hyping up against the naysayers, a self-manifestation and that feeling when you eventually achieve the things you set out to do despite all the noise, it’s the moment”, ‘Electric Days’ is a stellar step forward into a brand-new creative chapter for Dallas Frasca as she approaches the release of ‘Force of Nature’. Spanning influences from Lisa Kekaula of Basement Jaxx through to Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin, Larkin Poe, and Led Zeppelin alongside the gravitational pull from blues-influenced music that has so adamantly punctuated her prior releases, ‘Force of Nature ‘is Dallas Frasca at her most potent and engaging self to date; a fact made even more impressive by her ongoing legacy since first emerging onto the Australian music scene back in the mid 2000s. An album four years in the making and inspired greatly by time spent in nature as well as finding her own true self along the way, the result is a spellbinding journey deep into the soul of one of Australia’s genuine songwriting greats.

Renowned for her electrifying onstage presence and guitar slinging prowess, the new era for Dallas Frasca as a solo artist has only heightened her sonic might, now also arming her with both electric and acoustic guitars, a live loop pedal and staggering vulnerability and authenticity that flows throughout her brand of roots/rock. Whether placing in the top three of the International Songwriting Competition, snagging a theme song and worldwide sync on the popular TV series Bondi Ink, collaborating with Ugly Kid Joe or charting internationally, Dallas Frasca has also enamoured onstage at the likes of Bluesfest, Falls Festival, Woodford, was invited to fill in the shoes of Peter Garrett and fronted Midnight Oil for an Amnesty International event and also wowed at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in front of 1.5 billion viewers in 2018. And while critical and fan acclaim has followed Dallas Frasca throughout her career, it’s in 2024 that this talented creative has leant into the unknown and emerged triumphant, armed with the aptly titled ‘Force of Nature’. “Growing my wings as a solo artist has been the most challenging, vulnerable, raw, and empowering endeavour I have embarked on to date,” shares Dallas. “Hats off to all the solo artists out there. It’s given me an unwavering purpose and direction. This new body of work is by far the proudest achievement of my life thus far, I’m so excited to share it with everyone. There is so much to come, and I look forward to revealing a showcase of my growth as an artist and songwriter.”
