Daily Thompson comments: “‘Glue’ is finally out! We’re so proud of what we have made and we really hope you like it too.
This record feels like the most complete thing that we’ve ever made, it came outa lots of little jams and blasting the ideas we had in our mind but mostly it is the result of the three of us hanging out with no big plan just a good feeling making music together.
In these times of hate, ‘Glue’ is like the music that holds us together. Thanks guys, for sticking with us all these years!”
“Glue” is the finest expression yet of the profound friendships that created Daily Thompson. Here singer and guitarist Danny Zaremba, bassist Mercedes Lalakakis-Bee and drummer Thorsten “Babblz” Stratmann finally find their place in Grunge/Alternative and Indie Rock.
It feels like the band get their sound together as they always wanted it. Inspired by bands like Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., Alice In Chains, The Smashing Pumpkins, they created their vision of the nineties Seattle sound, heavily influenced by the grunge scene, the songs on “Glue” are known for massive, fuzzy, distorted guitars, Melodic hooks, and the signature vocals from both sides, this is the first time Mercedes sings the lead vocals for an entire song.
But “Glue” also contains songs like “Chains,” “SIAM” or “Here I Stand” that are dedicated to the actual grunge sound. The album creates a significant sonic connection through shared loud, Heavy Indie/Alt-Rock DNA. Like the American Alternative Rock scene that informed Seattle, bringing loud, feedback-drenched guitar back to Indie Rock years before Grunge exploded.
The band recorded the album in January 2026 in Seattle / Port Orchard, USA at APL recording again with Tony Reed. Their last album, “Chuparosa,” was met with critical acclaim, that is why the band returned to Seattle to record “Glue” with Reed as producer and guest musician.
The bands seventh studio album showcases Daily Thompson at the peak of their powers — Grungy, effervescent, as confident as they’ve ever been and more emotional than ever before.
