Returning with news of their third album, Fort Perch Rock, set for release Fri 27 February 2026 via Run On Records, The Dream Machine have this week shared their brand-new single Flowers On The Razorwire. Insatiably catchy, the track’s driving choruses and warming haze build an atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and electrifying. Songwriter and lead vocalist, Zak McDonnellsays: “’Flowers On The Razorwire’was about a comic book I found in an antique shop. I was sitting with a guitar, and the lads were just shouting out lines and ideas from it. It wasn’t long before we realised it was some sort of erotic graphic novel. I was in a Ramones phase around this time, so we went to Berlin during the writing of this album, intending to make a pilgrimage back to The Ramones Museum that we’d visited years ago, only to find it was gone. It’s as inspired by The Ramones as The Strokes, Television and The Walkmen.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
