ZABOCUS ANNOUNCES PRE-ORDER FOR HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM DREAM MACHINE, OUT JULY 18, 2025, AND DROP FIRST SINGLE AND VIDEO

The Final Chapter of the Critically Acclaimed Trouble Town Trilogy Now Available as Special 3-CD Collection

June 2025
Americana storytellers Zabocus are proud to announce that their long-awaited new album, Dream Machine, is now available for pre-order. The album will be officially released on July 18, 2025, completing the band’s sweeping and emotionally charged Trouble Town Trilogy.

In support of the album, Zabocus has released a brand-new music video for the track “Fair Weather Morning,” offering a visual glimpse into the spirit of Dream Machine.

Since 2015, Zabocus has carved out a distinct space in modern Americana with four captivating albums that blend roots authenticity with thought-provoking narrative. Dream Machine, the third and final chapter of the Trouble Town saga, is a triumphant conclusion to a story of loss, resilience, and renewal in a small American town.

The Trouble Town Trilogy chronicles the decline of a once-thriving community following the closure of its factories, and the eventual rebirth sparked by a groundbreaking discovery made by two of the town’s misunderstood geniuses. In Dream Machine, that discovery, a revolutionary new energy source, is unveiled in a joyous town-wide celebration, marking a new beginning filled with hope.

To commemorate this milestone, Zabocus is offering the entire Trouble Town Trilogy as a specially priced 3-CD collection, a must-have for both longtime fans and newcomers to the band’s richly cinematic storytelling.

Track the journey. Witness the rebirth. Dream big.

About Zabocus
ZABOCUS is a U.S.-based folk rock band born in 2014 from the creative partnership of seasoned songwriters Ted Zahn and Steve Bonino. With a sound that weaves together strands of Americana, folk, pop, country, and rock, ZABOCUS crafts a compelling musical tapestry rooted in heartfelt storytelling and melodic richness.

Drawing on decades of experience, Zahn and Bonino formed ZABOCUS with a shared vision: to create music that honors the timeless tradition of American songwriting. Their compositions echo the spirit of iconic artists like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor, marked by lush harmonies, acoustic textures, and introspective, narrative-driven lyrics.

More than just a collaboration, ZABOCUS is the convergence of two distinct artistic voices, blending diverse influences into a singular, engaging sound. The result is music that feels both familiar and fresh—evocative, sincere, and resonant with the emotional depth of classic folk rock.

We are delighted to welcome the California-based Americana band Zabocus to the ever-growing family at PeacockSunrise Records! 

While this marks an official new chapter, Zabocus is no stranger to the PSR family. We’ve had the pleasure of working closely with the band’s co-founder Steve Bonino for many years, and Ted Zahn is no stranger either, as he is a member of projects with Peter Matuchniak under our parent label, Melodic Revolution Records. Their shared creative spirit and rich musical legacy make this partnership feel like a natural evolution. 

Since 2015, Zabocus has released four compelling albums that have captured the hearts of Americana enthusiasts. Their latest release, “Dream Machine,” triumphantly completes their ambitious “Trouble Town Trilogy.” To celebrate this milestone, the entire Trouble Town Trilogy will be available June 25th as a specially priced 3-CD collection — a must-have for both longtime fans and new listeners alike. 

About the “Trouble Town Trilogy”

Disc 1 – Chapter 1. Roots Run Deep:
This album challenges you to mine deep into it, as the title suggests, the roots run deep not only in the concept ​but of the collective skills of the performers involved.

Not just an album, but a darker underside of the Norman Rockwell dream….

Disc 2 – Chapter 2. Trouble Town:
This album is a continuation of the Trilogy, featuring a variety of styles that you would expect in a show setting,  including frock and a little country. Overall, you can consider it Americana.

Disc 3 – Chapter 3. Dream Machine:
Dream Machine is the third chapter in the Trouble Town trilogy, which is the story of a small American town falling apart due to factory closures and its eventual rebirth due to the invention of a source of power discovered by two of the town’s socially outcast geniuses.

In this chapter, the ‘Dream Machine’ power source is unveiled before the whole town in a tremendous celebration of renewed life. 

Stay tuned for more details and get ready to embark on a soulful journey through Trouble Town with Zabocus and PeacockSunrise Records!
