Dear Seattle had a monster 2025, which included the release of their critically acclaimed third album, Toy. Now, just over a year later, the Sydney quartet have shared a deluxe edition of the record featuring new single ‘Bedroom Pacer’ and bonus track ‘I Can’t Make It Right’.
The release of Toy (Deluxe Edition) follows Dear Seattle’s recent Audiotree Live session that documents the band in a raw performance setting with their musicianship front and centre.
Produced by long-time collaborator Fletcher Matthews, Toy features standout singles ‘Cut My Hair’, ‘Nothing’s Stopping Me Now’, ‘Sungazer’ and ‘Say What You Want’. The album debuted at #1 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts, #4 on the ARIA Global Album Chart and #5 on the ARIA Vinyl Album Chart.
Vocalist Brae Fisher shared: “In the last 12 months, Toy has helped us create some of our most cherished memories. It’s taken us all around the world, doing our first tours in Europe, the UK and North America, making lifelong friends along the way.
“Back home in Aus, it hit number 1 on the ARIA charts and number 4 on the ARIA Global Chart on release week, and we got to smash out two incredibly special tours and play some mega festivals. With the release of our Audiotree, it only felt fitting to dish out a couple of extra unreleased tracks as a thank you for all of your love this past year. These are songs we truly love but just couldn’t find a place for on the initial release of Toy. We hope they find their home with you.”

Dear Seattle broke through in 2017 with their self-titled EP and followed that with their 2019 debut album, Don’t Let Go, which peaked at #10 on the ARIA Australian Album Charts.
Their sophomore album, Someday, arrived in 2022 and debuted at #4 and earned a triple j Spotlight Album feature, with Dear Seattle finally clinching the top spot with last year’s Toy.
Over the years, they have shared stages with Hockey Dad, Trophy Eyes and Dune Rats, and appeared at festivals including Splendour In The Grass, UNIFY Gathering, Great Escape and Party In The Paddock.
