The Callous Daoboys have shared another taste of new album ‘I Don’t Want To See You In Heaven’ in the form of electrifying single ‘Distracted By The Mona Lisa’.
With the band’s latest full-length set for release on May 16 via MNRK Heavy, ‘Distracted By The Mona Lisa’ follows the release of double single ‘Two-Headed Trout/The Demon of Unreality Limping Like A Dog’ and pop-influenced ‘Lemon’.
On the new track, vocalist Carson Pace has shared:
“There have been countless times in my life where I have felt married to my passion. It’s been detrimental, painful, and has forced me to sacrifice a normal life. This song is me committing to being married to that passion, regardless of the consequences. It’s less a spit in the face of normality, and more a love letter to my own band.“

On the writing of ‘I Don’t Want To See You In Heaven’, Carson has also said:
“The album is an artifact that’s been preserved, and hundreds of years in the future, you’re listening to this album in the museum. It’s a known failure, but the narrative is ‘if it survives forever, is it truly a failure?’
“Everything is very singular and personal. I’m not making an album commenting on anything societal or political this time, this is an album just for me. It’s every emotion I’ve felt and sobering thought since 2021. I can only make this album now, not in three years when I’m thirty, not ten years ago when I was seventeen. This is the snapshot of 24-27. A scrapbook of trial and error, or better yet, a Museum of Failure.”
