Tim: Daybehavior, a Swedish trio about to release their fourth album.
Tom: Good heavens: I haven’t heard that name in years. It turned up on a Eurodance station I used to listen to, a decade ago, some trance remix of one of their obscure songs. I never even looked up what else they did. And they’re still going!
Tim: With this as the lead single (also available, slightly reworked, in Italian, should you wish).
Tom: Well, they’ve clearly kept the same vocalist.
Tim: The e-mail says that for this album they’re “still keeping eyes on the sound of today, with one or two nods to the past”, though to be honest I’d switch those two round – music and video are both very much 80s-styled, with the synth and video contents and effects.
Tom: Yep, even down to the clothing. There’s some more modern synth work in there, but produce this a bit differently and it could be thirty years old.
Tim: I don’t dislike it by any means, though – I strongly suspect it will fall into the the 90% of tracks that you forget, as there’s not much to stand out here.
Tom: There are a few things I really like: the chord progression and melody in the chorus, and the still-ethereal vocals. I want the rest of the track to be that good.
Tim: But it’s very enjoyable and I’ll probably be looking out for the album when it’s released in due course. That’s positive, right?
