Alison Wonderland is gearing up for a big 2025.
The Australian DJ and producer has announced her fourth studio album, Ghost World, due out October 3rd.
Alongside the announcement, she’s released a new single, “iwannaliveinadream”.
“It’s all about trying to escape reality for a small amount of time because right now the real world feels too noisy,” she said. “This song sounds nostalgic and dreamy.”
The “iwannaliveinadream” video, shot and directed in New Zealand by filmmaker Conor Pritchard, is out now.
Previous singles “Get Started” and “Again? Fuck” will also appear on Ghost World.

Speaking on the album’s themes, Wonderland shared: “I often feel like I’m wandering this earth trying to find my home, both artistically and personally..sometimes it feels like the search will never end, I want people to know that while you’re on that search, there is place of refuge here for you, with us, in Ghost World”.
“I am forever grateful for the people who listen to my music and allow me to continue to create, to exorcize complicated feelings and emotions through my art and – yes – my ego death haha. I am only here because you are.“
