DAYTIME TV have released a video for their new single So Sick, taken from their brand new EP Island.
“Island is an EP centred around escapism and defiance,” vocalist Will Irvine comments. “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. Island represents a dreamlike state or place where you can go that none of these factors can get to you. Waves of anxiety that would previously crush you cannot reach you. Ultimately it’s a place where you take control.
“Musically we feel like we’ve done exactly that. Although we weren’t alive in the 80s, all four of us have a love for the sounds from that era and they somehow feel nostalgic to us. We wanted to inject some of those influences into a sound that otherwise felt forefront and futuristic. The mix of old and new is what excited us. We feel like the songs within ‘Island’ can be a sanctuary for people who want to let their minds fly unencumbered and free from the shackles of modern life.”
Island. is out now via Kartel Music Group, available to stream or purchase HERE.
