Los Angeles indie-rock pioneer Day Wave (the project of singer/instrumentalist Jackson Phillips) returned with news of his upcoming album, Pastlife, out June 24 on [PIAS] Recordings. Day Wave first emerged from the Bay Area in 2015 and quickly became known for his wavy lo-fi bedroom production. Tracks like Drag and Something Here put him on a global radar, boasting hundreds of millions of streams across DSPs and creating a lane for bedroom-pop that didn’t previously exist.
On the single, Jackson shares: “I think of Pastlife as the thesis statement for this record, because the overall theme is reminiscing on past chapters in my life. I have so many eras from my past that I miss, and so many friends left behind in those times. I wonder if they ever think of those times the way I do.” Enjoy the tune!
