DAYTIME TV have announced their new EP Island., due for release on 3rd May 2024 via Kartel Music Group.
“Island. is an EP centred around escapism and defiance. Moving against the things that slow us down and chip away at us. Releasing ourselves from ‘the way you’re meant to do things’ in 2024 and being free both in our minds and in our music,” explains vocalist/guitarist Will Irvine.
“The idea of just being a standard rock band is really boring to us. We want to bend genres and cross borders with these songs, not play it safe. We wanted to have some of those nostalgic 80s tones in there amongst some real ‘future’ sounding stuff that won’t be as familiar to people. That’s kind of been our ethos for this EP and it’s landed us exactly where we want to be.”
The band have also released a video for their new single Fear.
“Writing can easily become quite a brutal cycle of second guessing ourselves through fear of getting the next step wrong and halting the progress,” Irvine adds. “Sometimes creatively, you get caught up with the fear of the consequences of your actions and become afraid to make any move at all. You find your brain subconsciously putting up barriers for yourself which ends up as this kind of creative paralysis. In writing ‘Fear’ we’ve freed ourselves from that feeling by writing about it. It was like we realised what was holding us back from making our best music and had to face the fear to overcome it.”
