Meet daysormay. In the fall of 2010, three six-graders ignored all the trappings of typical teenage life and dedicated themselves fully to making music. Growing up in the small town of Vernon, BC, Canada, Aidan Andrews, Carson Bassett, and Nolan Bassett started out playing in cover bands before shifting to writing their own material. Now 24 years old, in Vancouver, with a full album and EP under their belt, the members of daysormay have no intention of slowing down.
The group has connected with 3-time Grammy and Juno award winning producer Chin Injeti (Dr. Dre, Drake, Eminem, Aloe Blacc, Anderson. Paak) and T-Minus (Lil Wayne, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd) for their next full-length album, MODERATION, set for release later this year. MODERATION will be released to the world on The Orchard-distributed label TAG Music. The record will be supported through daysormay’s dedicated online following and powerful live show, which has already graced stages at Reeperbahn Festival in Germany, The Great Escape in England, and Bumbershoot in Seattle, to name a few.
The first single to be released from the upcoming album is “SIMMER.” Marking the beginning of their collaboration with Injeti, “SIMMER” narrates succumbing to your impulses. Andrews confides, “There was a point in 2021 when I had covid, and I was isolated in my room for a while. I was really struggling at the time to moderate my consumption of everything, I was giving into any and every impulse that showed up, and I didn’t care. So to me the song is speaking from that place, that state of mind of knowing you’re too far gone but not caring, and even leaning into it.”
“SIMMER” stays true to the band’s loved and acclaimed sound, whilst turning things up a notch. Emitting an almost menacing tone, the track features dark, hard-hitting beats and ominous melodies, mirroring the overwhelming urge to surrender to your compulsions.
daysormay are certain to turn heads with the release of MODERATION, due September 18th 2024.
