Exclusive video premiere of ‘beach 90th’ by NYC-based dream pop band dayaway, taken from the forthcoming self-titled debut EP, due August 3.

Speaking on their new single and accompanying video, the band wrote:

“It’s a bit of a vulnerable song about regret and second chances. I like to think that there’s always hope for redemption. We shot the video out at Rockaway Beach, at several locations the song is about. ‘beach 90th’ has a psychedelic sonic quality, so we wanted to mirror that in the visual choices”.

On their forthcoming EP, the band continued:

“This project started as a sort of accident. I was sitting on the beach on a late summer day in 2018 when I felt compelled to start writing these summertime love songs. They came to me so quickly and all at once. These are vignettes of love and loss from my imagination and my life. They’re meant to capture the feelings of summertime, from the hot blue euphoria to the hazy golden sadness. On one level, they’re simple love songs, but there’s also something a little deeper about growing up and saying goodbye”.

Reminiscent of acts like Tennis and Hatchie, dayaway’s nostalgic songs float over a bed of hazy guitars, wavy, psychedelic synths and dusty drums. Drawing influence from 90s and 00s indie like Rilo Kiley, Beach House, and Washed Out, dayaway blends elements of indie pop with chillwave and dream pop.
