WL//WH Track Of The Day DAYFLOWER
Leicester, UK-based experimental pop crafters Dayflower led by Alex Clemence (vocals, lyrics) and David Dhonau (guitars, synths, beats, sampling), deliver the new single, “Young Sun,” co-written & produced with Leicester based electronic producer Tom Young (guitar, synth, drum machine), with assistance of Johnny McJohnston (additional synths and beats) and Lakeem Rose (additional production + processing), the opening track from the upcoming new album, “COMFORT,” due this Summer 2025,
“a fizzy rush of dayglo synths and buzzsaw guitar…like a cute shoegaze band bursting out of a dusty games console.”

A whimsical song that elevates the listener into the band’s dreamlike, heady, and surreal kaleidoscopic sound world, “beyond the blue horizon, far above the clouds,” citing, like in its esoteric lyrics, seemingly provoked by a singer Alex Clemence‘s dream, the Beatles of “Magical Mystery Tour,” as a relief and escape from the material earth’s misery.
Inspired by the rush of colors and landscapes experienced in yesteryear’s console games, “Young Sun” sparks off urgent tinny drum patterns and feathery guitar strums, washed in swooshing, fuzzed-out textures, layered with fluorescent, darting synth breezes, bittersweetly quivering over wandering heartfelt playful vocals, fading in and out, haloed in an echoing ecstatic chorus, swept with a wistful sense of nostalgia.
Dayflower‘s new single, “Young Sun,” is available on all streaming platforms from April 11th.
Keep your ears peeled. The band’s forthcoming album, “COMFORT,” is scheduled for this Summer 2025 on CD and 12″ Vinyl LP via Sunday Records.
