Night Owls will be released on October 13th through Wicked Cool Records / The Orchard.
The Dollyrots - aka vocalist and bassist Kelly Ogden and guitarist Luis Cabezas - aren't making you wait until October 13th though - they have just released a brand new single from the album.

To hear all about how and why creating Night Owls was such a great experience, here's Kelly to tell all:
"You know how they say a band’s 1st album is usually their best? Well I think because we had time for this one, you know, since the World stopped, it’s a lot like a 1st album. We had so many bits and pieces and once we could finally get into the studio it all just flew out of us, like we had been holding something vital & urgent in for years. Because we had. If you love The Dollyrots you’ll love “Night Owls". If you don’t know The Dollyrots, you’ll probably love it too."
For their new album (their 8th), The Dollyrots have enlisted the services of longtime collaborator John Fields (Jimmy Eat World, All Time Low, Meet Me At the Altar) who has handled production duties for the record alongside Kelly and Luis (except for Hey Girl, which also has Stevie Van Zandt on production). Mixing was also done by John Fields, Recording and Engineering was done by John Fields and Luis, and Mastering was handled by Will Quinnell at Sterling Sound. The album was recorded across three locations - Creation Audio Studio B in Minneapolis, Renegade Studios in New York City and Harmonic Mermaid in The Dollyrots home town of Tampa, Florida. Night Owls artwork was created by Spencer Alexander.
