In a fever dream, the temperature rises, and reality slips in and out of focus. You may be asleep, but you never forget how it felt (even if the details remain fuzzy).

Cycling through states of mind and fits of feeling, CANNONS ebb and flow between otherworldly electro-soundscapes and evocative vocal transmissions, layering breezy pop atop cinematic sonic architecture. The L.A. group -- Michelle Joy [vocals], Ryan Clapham [lead guitar], and Paul Davis [drums, keys] -- physically incite body movement and mentally provoke thought. After amassing hundreds of millions of streams and earning acclaim from Consequence, OnesToWatch, LA Weekly, and more, the trio captivate like never before on their third full-length offering, Fever Dream [out March 25 via Columbia Records].

"A fever dream is a strange situation that feels like a dream," Michelle observes. "It's a confusing experience. You're dreaming, but you're also awake. This sentiment threads through the album. Over the last couple of years, writings songs lifted our spirits. These songs came from different places for all of us even though we went through life together. So, we used this medium as an escape from reality. We hope listeners can exit to a dreamscape in our music."

CANNONS have consistently enabled escape via their songs. Following a tireless grind, they quietly shook-up popular culture with their 2019 independent sophomore outing, Shadows. The single "Fire For You" initially toppled The Hollywood Reporter's Top TV Songs Chart at #1 in the wake of a placement on NETFLIX's Never Have I Ever. The success translated to multiple radio formats as they clinched #1 on both Alternative and Triple A, earning them a 2022 iHeart Radio Award nomination for 'Best New Alternative Artist.' With the song notably eclipsing 77 million Spotify streams, SiriusXM touted the band on the "Class of 2020," while YouTube named CANNONS among its "Artists on the Rise." Beyond inciting critical applause, they wowed audiences at Lollapalooza, Firefly, Outside Lands, and more.
