announced plans for new original album

While the Daddies dedicated most of the 2010s to playing and recording swing and jazz music, Perry first revealed in a 2014 interview with The Huffington Post that he had started writing new non-swing songs for the next original Daddies album, describing his ambitions of making a ” psychobilly / Zappa / American Idiot / R. Crumb type record that paints a picture of the American socio political scene”, emphasizing his desire to experiment with rockabilly and roots rock . Over the next four years, Perry gave sporadic updates on Twitter and in interviews on the development of this new album of originals, describing it in 2016 as “a little like Ferociously Stoned 2 “, featuring a primary emphasis on rock and funk, and then later in 2017 as “swing-ska-rockabilly-psychobilly”. Production on the album began in late 2017, and on May 8, 2018, Perry announced on Twitter that the mixing process had begun on the finished product, now titled Bigger Life .
