In a press statement released with the album's announcement on August 27, 2024, Katerina Economou elaborated on the album, stating:
"Our next album: DOA or "Dreams on Algorithms" explores the control of the unseen, programmed, subliminal forces on our actions and mental state. By using dreams, sleep, and the subconscious as thematic imagery, we are trying to tap into what unifies us underneath the influence of these targeted algorithms."
The singer continued,
"Some songs are very direct in their approach to how social media has impacted our lives, and some songs are indirect and relate to personal goals or experiences. We're extremely proud of this album as we believe it encapsulates our roots as a band and the broad reaches of where we want to take our sound.”
Escuela Grind is best known for their debut album, Memory Theater, which came out on September 30, 2022. The album is available through Bandcamp and other vendors.
