2011, Those who are expecting the record to be a consistent continuance of THE PARIAH, THE PARROT, THE DELUSION will no doubt be surprised: this album is completely different from everything Dredg have ever done before. Even though there is a lot of variation in tones and tempo, singer Gavin sums up the general sound of CHUCKLES AND MR. SQUEEZY as Dark Pop: a dark undertone is giving the songs some kind of a contemplative self-analysis - but in the end the album is still characterized by its optimism. With CHUCKLES AND MR. SQUEEZY Dredg is breaking new grounds in their career - in a new, yet unexplored direction. The influence Dan The Automator had on this record is obvious. The last fifteen years of development brought Dredg to an unexpected, yet welcomed point in their career.
