4 boys from Cornwall making waves

Press:
“Full of Bolshy Spirit” – NME.   “bolshy, brash garage punk rabble-rousers somewhere between the attitude of early Cribs or Libertines colliding with the death or glory of the Clash” – GodsintheTVZine.   “A satisfying mix of classic punk, rock’n’roll and modern indie magic” – Dork    “we could be witnessing the emergence of another great British band. Jaw droppingly good” – Gigslutz  Plenty more where that comes from!

If You Could

Juillet

Un monde entier à découvrir vraiment, en s’embrassant tendrement, un continent, une plaine en fleurs, un océan de bonheur… J’attends patiemment qu’il revienne nous dire les mots que depuis longtemps elle et moi, on attend.

Mais qui suis-je vraiment ? Un insecte rampant ou un héros courageux toujours au premier rang ? 
Mais qui suis-je vraiment ? Celui qui gît à terre ou celui qui lentement rentre dedans ?

A mort perdus dans nos sentiments, la cupidité comme raisonnement, c’est maintenant que je comprends que nous serons des ignorants pour encore un long moment !

Mais qui suis-je vraiment ? Un insecte rampant ou un héros courageux toujours au premier rang ? 
Mais qui suis-je vraiment ? Celui qui gît à terre ou bien celui qui lentement rentre dedans ?

Et s’il faut se le dire, je préfère m’en aller : pour repartir.

Voyages (démo)

Look at the things around us
The things that make a life
We’re living on autopilot
On the edge of a knife

He said you’re always right there
But you’re never right here
Sometimes I feel like
If I breathe out once more I’ll just disappear 

When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
Face the facts
It’s not coming back
When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
We’ve got to fight for that

Everything we have
It’s a miracle made real
But so all encompassing
We don’t have time to feel

She said but I’m always on
I’m talking but you don’t hear
Sometimes I feel like
One more day and I’ll just disappear 

When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
Face the facts
It’s not coming back
When it’s gone it’ll stay gone
We’ve got to fight for that 
Or it’s not coming back

Stay Gone

This is an old dude's attempt to channel/manage his life into music. The overarching theme is the ancient one of human experience, the reality of death and pain and our ability to survive knowing that this is the reality. One well-established route is to embace religion but, in my case, I don't follow that. If you don't follow religion, what is left for you when you have to contront the painful, desolate truth of our existence? I don't know the answer, but these songs are part of my exploration of the question.      

Adamantine

With a love of gleaming melodies and reverb-drenched guitars, Dayflower blend the noise of My Bloody Valentine and Air style soundscapes with a DIY feel that evokes early Pavement and the indelible song craft of The La’s… coated in just the kind of hazy sheen to please fans of 4AD and Creation records. 

Initially a bedroom project with no expectations, their tunes have gone on to win over music fans around the world, assisted by airplay on BBC6 Music / Introducing and physical releases on New York's Cloudberry Records and Stuttgart based Summer Darling Tapes.

Dayflower’s next album, ‘Comfort’ is due to be released on Chicago based independent label Sunday Records later in 2024
