Over the last few months, Australian trio daste. have been building the hype for their upcoming album “dasteWORLD” with a collection of outstanding new singles including Around, Colours, Atlas, Starwriter and River.
That album is now set for on February 19th (album & vinyl presave here), but before we get to that the band still have one more little teaser to share with us called ‘Tide’.
“Tide is the tale of two songs really. On one of our writing trips we had written a song called ‘Tide’ which features the first verse and pre-chorus you’ll hear on this track. It had a slightly similar vibe, maybe a little more upbeat. Fast forward a month or so, I had uploaded an instagram reel of this particular bassline/beat I’d made and got a cool response from a lot of people, and we wanted to try to include the beat in the album somehow.
Turns out the melodies from that original song fit perfectly and when trying to think of a new chorus, Tyler came to us with the ‘Baby won’t you back it up’ line and the rest was history. Ultimately, the lyrics and vibe reflect a longing to break free from pressures and find solace in fleeting, unstructured moments. There’s a pull toward exploring new spaces – both physically and emotionally, to rediscover clarity.” ~ Callum MacDonald (of daste.)
Australian fans can catch daste. as they support Still Woozy on his Australian tour in February (see dates below) and UK fans can catch them playing Footsteps Festival, Do2Dot Festival and Cross The Tracks in May!
