Introducing The Daydream Club

Regular readers of RCM will be very familiar with The Daydream Club. Since our inception in 2010, they have been a near ever-present and our most featured artist by a country mile. Their genre-defying catalogue of music continues to delight and enthral and as a blog that champions independent artists, it’s hard to imagine any artist that evokes the spirit and tenacity of independence more than The Daydream Club. This duo do everything! From writing, production, photography, artwork, video production. You name it, they do it. Now they have a new project ‘The Daydream Club Presents Podcast’ and we are thrilled to contribute.

The Daydream Club Presents is a music discovery podcast hosted by Adam and Paula Pickering (aka The Daydream Club). The Podcast covers a diverse range of music featuring the duos influences, personal favourites, talented friends and ‘behind the tunes chats’ telling the story of their own music. Just like the music they make, expect to hear an eclectic mix of sounds spanning alternative, ambient, electronic, Indie-folk, and experimental.

The Daydream Club Presents Podcast drives revenue for the artists

All the tracks played on the show are taken from the Spotify catalogue, which means every play generates direct revenue for the featured artist. If you like any of the tracks, you can simply add the songs to your own playlists.

The post Listen! The Daydream Club Presents Podcast appeared first on Right Chord Music Blog.

2020 will go down as a year that most of us will want to quickly forget. Thankfully creativity often follows adversity and while we’ve been locked away in our homes these incredible musicians have helped us pass the time with their art.

1. Porcelain

Porcelain burst into our consciousness back in the summer and have never left. From the opening bars of debut single ‘Last Word’ we were smitten. The debut EP ‘Part One’ strengthened the bond and latest single ‘Hollow’ makes the hairs rise on our neck. This is music which is made with love and evokes the deepest passion. If you haven’t heard them yet, where have you been?

2. Dust In The Sunlight

A name can be hugely evocative and Dust In The Sunlight is one of those names that perfectly encapsulates the sound. It’s a warm, hazy soundtrack that envelops you like a cosy duvet and kisses your ears. Just too gorgeous.

Listen on Spotify

3. Officer

Choosing our favourite Officer track is like choosing between Mum or Dad. But maybe, just maybe it’s ‘Willow & Anchor’. This is track two from our undoubted album of the year ‘Night Tennis’ The lyrical symbolism is stunning imaginative and quite unique. This is more than a love song, it’s a tribute a totem and a shrine and it’s hard not to fall at its feet.

4. MALKA – Moving Together

Moving Together is delightfully joyous. We used this track to soundtrack our summer online music festival called The Takeover and it still evokes wonderful memories. We challenge you to listen to this song and not smile. In the toughest of years, this track is like a beacon of optimism. Moving Together is taken from MALKA’s wonderful album ‘I’m Not Your Soldier’.

5. Hugo Samba

Wah is the debut album by french musician Hugo Samba and it’s funky, chilled sounds were never far from our ears in 2020. Like a futuristic porn soundtrack it’s playful, sleazy and cool in equal measure.

6. National Service

Caving is just one of those songs that speaks to us. It’s a song about being self critical and struggling to just live in the moment. Caving bubbles and roars with a direct intensity that is beyond infectious. When live music returns, National Service will be at the top of our list of bands we absolutely need to see.

Listen on Spotify

7. Iraina Mancini

Shotgun by Iraina Mancini and her collaborator Jazg Kooner (Primal Scream / Oasis) is brilliantly playful, naughty and simultaneously romantic. Inspired by the album Histoire de Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg, Shotgun will have you dreaming about Soho in the 60s or wild nights out in a neon lit Parisian bar. The single has rightly found it’s way on to the BBC 6 Music playlist and is proof that great music will always find an audience. We look forward to hearing more from Iraina in 2021.

8. Mic Assassin

RCM have been aware of Mic Assassin for a few years but his performance at the RCM Takeover festival was significant because it provided a preview of his most significant release to date. Not since Mike Skinner and The Streets has an artist so powerfully captured the the daily grind. 5 Wings is the musical equivalent of CCTV it’s powerful, frank and hard to switch off.

Listen on Spotify

9. Jon Rooks

Jon Rooks has one song in the world and that song is Can’t Stop. From it’s piano bar style intro, the song unfolds to reveal a breezy, soulful funk that would have Prince and Justin Timberlake up dancing. Can’t Stop is so good you can’t believe you haven’t heard it before. We keep expecting to find that it’s actually been a global hit. But in fact Jon Rooks currently has less than 50 monthly listeners. This needs to change! We can’t wait to hear the follow up.

Listen on Spotify

10. King Hannah

Last year King Hannah flawed us with their single Crème Brûlée and this year they returned with a debut EP and raised the bar to the ceiling. Their languid style borders on apathy, but this is beautiful, beautiful apathy. Smokey vocals, dense, swirling textures and a twang of americana make this soar. Meal Deal is something of true wonder.

Why Spotify playlists are important for unsigned bands

Daytime radio is dominated by major label artists. Consequently as an unsigned band it is incredibly difficult to secure day time radio play-listing. Hiring a radio plugger is expensive and for unsigned artists the cost frequently outweighs the returns. Faced with these challenges Spotify provides a powerful and credible alternative way for unsigned artists to build buzz and earn an income.

Although landing a place on an official Spotify playlist can have a dramatic impact on your income, competition is fierce. Therefore, getting your music on independent playlists like Lost On Radio can provide a vital stepping stone to build online buzz to get on Spotify’s radar.

Introducing Curtsy & Cry

Curtsy & Cry are an alt-rock two-piece, based in North London. They create an exciting hybrid blend of fuzz, psych and garage rock with biting lyrical delivery and indie grandeur. Imagine the Arctic Monkeys held hostage by Jack White, who wouldn’t want to see that?

Drawing on their shared love of artists like Ty Segall, The Dead Weather and The Wytches, Curtsy & Cry work to discover dark, vibrant and unexpected corners of rock’s musical landscape. 2020 will see Curtsy & Cry release two new tracks starting with ‘Fancy Coils’ and ‘Pigeon’ which is set for release on the 21st February.

Having played music together since their school days, drummer James Henderson and guitarist Mike Pickering have steadily evolved their sound, through a process of experimentation, creative risking and mutual understanding. Curtsy & Cry have headlined venues including Paper Dress Vintage, The George Tavern, The Horn and Sticky Mike’s Frog Bar, developing a loyal following from the energy of their live shows.

Fancy Coils

The band’s new release ‘Fancy Coils’ is a sprawling rush of nervous energy and searing intensity. The lyrics nod to the turmoil of recent years offering a seething critique of those proud and self-serving individuals who, from the safety of their castles, watch the world decline. The artwork is created in response to this, by drummer James Henderson.
