The Daydream Club: The Affair

Math - Feat. Great Dane (Prod. Preston James)

RELEASE DATE: MARCH 12 
POCO POCO RECORDS
On The Move (Part II) is the new single by The Daydream Club. 

"A beautiful, beautiful song...hypnotic." Dean Jackson The Beat, BBC Radio Nottingham
"Beautiful music by beautiful people" The BBC
"Understated and yet very intriguing. Wonderful song-craft" Amazing Radio

Adam Pickering and Paula Walker (The Daydream Club) met while studying at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) and released their debut album ‘Overgrown’ via their own label (Poco Poco Records) in November 2010. The album deliberately aimed to strip away production layers to focus on song-writing and acoustic instrumentation. The duo's debut single 'The Record Shop,' a limited edition vinyl released to coincide with Record Store Day, led to live sessions for both regional BBC radio stations (BBC Tees – Bob Fischer, BBC Nottingham – Dean Jackson) and Tom Robinson’s show on BBC6 Music. 

The new single, On The Move (Part II) hints at the developing musical direction for the duo, with a fuller, more expansive sound, recalling the atmospherics of The XX and Cocteau Twins, with The Daydream Club's own trademark boy / girl harmonies. Check out the insanely cute & highly imaginative video for On The Move (Part II). ‎ http://youtu.be/wRtM_TP2umI It took 50 balloons, 30 party poppers, 2 days of thinking backwards & just 1 take to make. If ever a video perfectly encapsulated a band, this is surely it.

The single is backed by the original, rhythmically driven album version of the track, which showcases the percussive guitar skills of Adam Pickering, as featured on Secret Sessions http://youtu.be/GBMrCKkRMJA This single release has been fuelled by fan power after 'On The Move' became a fixture on the Myspace charts, frequently outperforming major label artists including Mumford & Sons & Amy Winehouse. 

2012 promises to be an exciting year for the duo, with brand new material on the way, and next single 'Neon Love Song' set to feature in a global brand advertising campaign this May. This is rapidly becoming one club, worth joining!

The Mariner’s Children - ‘Sycamore EP’
CD & Digital
Broken Sound Music via PIAS

"Simply astonishing...exhilarating and devastating...a thrilling journey" - Q Magazine
"Roaring with the hot-headed intensity of Arcade Fire, made brittle with tumultuous rage and regret" - NME

Following on from their critically acclaimed New Moore Island EP, 7-piece band The Mariner’s Children return with a new work, Sycamore EP, as devastating and as poignantly beautiful as their last. Hinging on the themes of love and death, songwriter Benedict Rubinstein explores the relationships between these experiences and how both can distort logic.

“Sycamore came from a period when I’d gone to a lot of funerals in a very short space of time. I was thinking about death a lot but I was also in quite a good place in my life and very much in love, so felt quite able to write about the most terrifying thing from a pretty contented place. It’s not a happy song - it’s about everything ending and nature and time conquering all and there being nothing you can do about it but work to accept it - but it didn’t come from a place of despair. The track is about death, but it’s definitely a love song.”

The Mariner’s Children include members of Peggy Sue, Laura Marling, Sons of Noel and Adrian, Alessi’s Ark, and Eyes & No Eyes. Drawing inspiration from Chris Taylor’s (Grizzly Bear) approach to production, Angels of Light, and Pentangle amongst others, their music has at the same time all the immense instrumentation of Arcade Fire and the subtlety of the likes of Iron & Wine and Bonnie Prince Billy. Songs drift from sparse, delicate understatement to thunderous intensity in the blink of an eye. Lyrically, Benedict Rubinstein creates incredible confessional tales, often with an underlying darkness. “I’ve no wish to die, I’ve no wish to leave your side, but if I go before you then heed these words of mine- let my flesh feed the sycamore tree, in its arms you can climb if you ever feel you’re missing me.”

Sycamore was produced and recorded by Ian Grimble (The Manic Street Preachers, Beth Orton, Communion, etc) at two different studios – Rockfield (a converted stable), and 2khz (a converted church).

The Mariner’s Children are a rare find, who have been in no rush to launch themselves into the public domain.

Their return has been every bit worth the wait - prepare for the long player later in 2013.

"Purveyors of lovingly crafted music with anthemic uplift and widescreen ambition...they create something – using accordions, mandolins, guitars and drums – with the visceral attack of rock and the rhythmic propulsion and thrilling momentum of dance." - The Guardian
"(New Moore Island) sets an impossibly high level of expectations of any future endeavors...an intimate, poignant release that’s impressive in every way." - The Line Of Best Fit
"The kind of rootsy folk you can’t help but fall hopelessly in love with" - The Fly
