Today, Los Angeles-based project Drugdealer announces their forthcoming album “Hiding In Plain Sight,” due on October 28th via Mexican Summer. With this news comes the groups new single "Someone to Love" along with a video directed by James Manson and Drugdealer's own Michael Collins.

"'Someone to Love' came out of an impromptu extended jam that my band and I developed show by show on the last full US tour. Then when we got home and I started working on this new stuff I realized it was one of the best moments of us naturally playing. I turned it into a fully fleshed out song about wanting to be truly loved unconditionally, and pretty instantly became my favorite thing I had written and pretty much still sits there. The recorded version is really boosted by contributing performances from John Carroll Kirby and Video Age, who help give this track a unique feel. It definitely breaks out of a certain sound or form that I have been using in this project, and went more faithfully into a real soul tribute that I never thought I’d be able to represent as a lead vocalist." - Collins

In support of the forthcoming project, Drugdealer also announces their headline tour across North America. Tickets are now on sale here and full tour routing can be found below.
