DAYAWAY – “A BRIEF DREAM OF SUN”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
Last month, Dayaway (the dreamy indie-pop project of Amber Renee and Graham Marsh of CLAVVS) announced details concerning their upcoming sophomore EP, Blue Summer Moon, out August 30 via Turn To Wind (on the first and only blue moon of the year). The EP, as described by the duo, is “a collection of songs that tell a story of love and loss; each song is a new phase of that story.” They continue, “Naturally, weβre releasing it on the only blue moon of the year, August 30th, 2023.”
Following the release of the EP’s first single “i wish” (which debuted at #14 on the sub-modern chart with support from KCRW and more), today, Dayaway returns with a new single entitled “A Brief Dream Of Sun,” alongside an accompanying lyric video.
Amber reflects on the track’s conception, writing: “‘A Brief Dream Of Sun’ is the song Iβm most proud to have written. Graham and I both agree that itβs our favorite song weβve made together in quite some time. weβve always been inspired by psychedelia, so it was really rewarding to explore this sonic space and push the boundaries of dayaway into something a bit darker and acid washed.”
Thus far, singles off Blue Summer Moon β including “i wish,” “ocean blues,” and “hot blue summer” β have found placements on official editorial playlists by Spotify (Chill Vibes, Indie Chillout, Lazy Afternoon, H&M Official Playlist), Apple Music (New In Alternative), Amazon Music (Brand New Music, Fresh Indie), and Audiomack (Pop Future cover artist). Last year, Dayaway shared their debut self-titled EP, preceded with hit singles such as “Cool Water” (which was featured on ABC’s A Million Little Things and added to popular playlists across Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music). To date, the EP has achieved 5M+ streams across all platforms.
Stay tuned for more new music from Dayaway’s upcoming EP, coming August 30, and listen to βa brief dream of sunβ now via all DSPs.
