DAAY - 'Memories of the Future'

There’s something thrilling about a band that refuses to exist in one place at one time, and DAAY lean fully into that disorientation on their latest EP 'Memories of the Future'. This five-track release feels like a transmission from a parallel London where grooves warp, melodies mutate, and reality bends just enough to let something strange and beautiful slip through.

At the core of the EP is a fascination with simultaneity, lacing this idea with movement and colour, letting elastic basslines, shape-shifting synths, and jagged guitar phrases pull us into a headspace that’s playful, unsettled, and oddly comforting all at once.

Tracks like 'Guru Deva' and 'Mint' glide in with a hypnotic confidence, stacking rhythm and texture until the songs are unearthed mid-motion. 'Live Out Your Lonely Life' sharpens the focus, pairing restless energy with a lyrical urgency that insists on presence over nostalgia or projection. By the time 'So Divine' arrives, DAAY are operating in full colour with spiritual curiosity, pop instinct, and experimental impulse all tangled together. The closing moment 'One Moment (Outro)' dissolves out this collection, leaving a lingering afterimage rather than a clean resolution.

What makes this release stand out is how naturally DAAY juggle complexity and immediacy. The arrangements are adventurous, but never indulgent. Even as the band toys with alien languages and fractured structures, there’s always a reminder that this is rock music first and foremost, just viewed through a cracked lens.

With this EP, DAAY sound like a group in flux in the best possible way: unafraid of change, energised by it, and willing to let chaos lead to clarity. It’s a release that makes alternate futures feel briefly reachable, right here in the noise and colour of the present moment.
