about

Daylight Versions is a gorgeous album of woozy, drone-pop tunes about meteorology, the seasons and the incoming sea.

From songs about the ghostly Suffolk coastline to the slowly rising waters of London marshes, these ten tracks channel the warm fuzz of Yo La Tengo, the spacious repetition of Talk Talk and Movietone's seaside melancholy to beautiful effect.

"Melancholy wonder on delightful debut" 5 * The Guardian

"...fascinating, bold and experimental drone-pop..." 9/10 Louder Than War

"...a charming debut, with songs soaked in atmospheres that conjure thoughts of hazy mists and setting suns." Uncut

"Like experiencing The Clientele’s ghostly pastoral elegies warped through the drone melodies of Stereolab... one of my albums of the year." PopLib
