New York’s own DES ROCS has released a deluxe version of his electrifying 2023 smash album, Dream Machine, available today on Sumerian Records. DES ROCS is excited to finally share some of the unreleased ideas that shine a new light on the Dream Machine era. Dream Machine: The Lucid Edition features three new songs, a new version of ‘In the Night’ (feat. Underaoth), and two live tracks.

The powerful new video for bonus track ‘Love and a Smoking Gun’ was shot in 8mm, resembling the iconic concert films of the 70s. “’Love and a Smoking Gun’ is an idea I’ve been tinkering with for years,” says Des. “I wanted to maximise my idea of bedroom area rock and create an epic rock and roll adventure in the most spartan and DIY way. Preserving the grit, emotion and the intensity of it all is everything Des Rocs stands for.”

Last month DES ROCS released a stunning video for ‘In the Night’ directed by famed Rolling Stone photographer Mark Seliger, which continues to receive thousands of views. Currently wrapping up his second headline tour in Europe this year, DES ROCS will celebrate the final date of the Dream Machine World Tour and deluxe album release, with an intimate hometown show in Brooklyn @ National Sawdust Thursday 17th October.

ABOUT DES ROCS:
The album, produced by Alain Johannes (Queens of the Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures, PJ Harvey), Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5) and DES ROCS mastermind Danny Rocco, plays like a bolt of energy coursing through the glory days of rock, metal, and grunge, united within his signature “bedroom arena rock” sound.Dream Machine follows DES ROCS’ 2021 debut full length album A Real Good Person In A Real Bad Place. The album received wide-ranging praise from outlets like Loudwire (“addictive”), Guitar World (“fierce”), Rolling Stone, SPIN, American Songwriter and Alternative Press. Currently, DES ROCS boasts more than 970 thousand monthly listeners on Spotify, with more than 227 million global streams to date.
