Dan Snaith returns to his Daphni moniker for new album ‘Cherry’.
The producer also operates as Caribou, with Daphni representing the more club-focussed, overtly electronic elements of his creative practice. His first album under the name since 2017, ‘Cherry’ will be released on October 7th.
Recorded over a lengthy period of time, the album seems to be bound more by Daphni’s questing spirit, than by any one theme. “There isn’t anything obvious that unifies it or makes it hang together” Snaith says, “I think it was good that it was made without worrying about any of that. I just made it.”
Ahead of the new album the producer has shared inspired electronic workout ‘Cloudy’, all billowing digital frequencies and elements of heavenly light. The producer explains: “The essence of this one is keeping it aloft – like occasionally nudging a balloon that’s only just heavier than air to keep it afloat. For something so buoyant, I’m surprised how much it bangs in a club.”
