Daymoon
Wednesday
Daymoon's 5th studio album, WEDNESDAY takes the band's eclectic approach to bewildering heights. The music ranges from off-piste experiments and light-hearted sci-fi folk, to an extended, brooding suite of autobiographical notes about a children's sanatorium in 1960's Germany all of it carried by the emotive vocal delivery by lead singer, Lavínia Roseiro. A possibly welcome bonus for weary listeners is the fact that the album features no drums. This is a shift from the progressive rock band's former album releases. about the band: Daymoon are a Portuguese progressive rock band led by multi-instrumentalist FredLessing, based in Sintra, Portugal. Since their debut in 2011, they've woven together elements of 70s prog, jazz, world music and cinematic soundscapes, crafting deeply emotional and intellectually rich albums like All Tomorrows (2011), Fabric of Space Divine (2013), the intimate CruzQuebrada (2016) about confronting loss and the politically charged Erosion (2022). Their sound is marked by a broad array of instrumentsflutes, clarinets, trumpet, saz, ethnic percussion added by standard rock instrumentsand a rotating lineup of guest artists. The band's albums traverse personal tragedy, environmental anxiety, and social critique, all while retaining a strong prog-rock foundation. Daymoon offer a unique, genrespanning musical journeybold, reflective, and multilayered, fusing heartfelt storytelling with progressive and experimental flair.
