Hey everyone,
Lots of people have asked me as of late: when is the next Daydream Deluxe album? Well, it's not gonna be fun for me to explain what's been happening, but here's the kicker:
For most of 2023 going into 2024, I've been under a dry spell with producing Vaporwave and Future Funk, and haven't been happy with anything I've made thus far. Everything I've produced I feel keeps going nowhere and doesn't emanate the excitement I got from creating "Dream Forever". Though I have released a number of EPs, Singles and Albums in the last four years, I just don't feel like anything has been the most honest variation of myself as of late.
This predominantly has to do with my personal life and everything that has been affecting it to the point where I've had very little to no time to perfect these ideas. In addition, I've had another project that I've been putting more time and effort towards that has been the alleviator for what I've been enduring these last few months. I cannot express what has been going on at this time, but I can say that what I've been writing musically and lyrically has been the most sincere version of my artistry lately.
So, instead of trying to force myself to make another Vaporwave or Future Funk release, I'm instead turning my focus to this new brainchild of mine that is sonically different as opposed to Daydream Deluxe. All of these songs I've composed so far have had to do with my personal life, current affairs that have inflicted my friends, people I once considered to be friends that turned out to be lecherous and backstabbing pieces of s**t, current societal conundrums and more. So more or less, this is a bit of a punk band I'm working on called "A.R.M.D.", and I aim to have music recorded and released by the end of the year. But of course, nothing can be recorded until I have all the equipment I need, so a lot of my money from work will be put towards the gear I need.
That being said, from a production standpoint, Daydream Deluxe will be on hiatus. However, I will still be doing gigs and taking part in online events if anyone calls me to join their lineup. Not to mention the fact I'm still doing VaporShave and am very much looking forward to doing that! So rest assured, Daydream Deluxe will still be active everywhere else, just not when it comes to producing music while this new idea is underway.
Until then, lots of love from your boy.
// Daydream Deluxe
