“Unimpeachably awesome cut of lo-fi goodness, as comforting as your favorite hoodie, as treasured as that faded polaroid of your teen crush that you keep tucked in the back drawer…magnificent.” - Noisey
“Day Wave sucked me in immediately…I’d listen to this on loop all day.” - Stereogum
“A promising collection of sun-faded, lo-fi indie rock.” - FADER
September 12, 2016 – Los Angeles, CA – After amassing an impressive 3.6 million Spotify streams and counting, Day Wave uncovers a brand new lyric video for the single “Gone” today: watch it HERE. Cutting together a series of developing Polaroid pictures, the dreamily nostalgic video entwines with vocalist and multi-instrumentalistJackson Philips’ delicate delivery and lush instrumentation.
Audiences will get the chance to experience Day Wave live this fall when Philips embarks on a handful of North American headline dates. The tour begins on November 2 at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and stops in select markets across the U.S. before wrapping at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn November 14.
Throughout 2016, Day Wave has become both a fan and critical favorite. His music averages over 440K monthly Spotify streams, while “Drag” is quickly nearing 4 million streams to date on its own. Consequence of Sound praised that Day Wave “recalls elements of Beach Fossils and Wild Nothing, but mostly evokes that mugg! y/cool transitional period when summer’s last grip really begins to fade and fall’s blissful crispness slowly creeps in,” while Los Angeles Times excitedly filed under “glad to have discovered.” Buzzfeed ranked “We Try But Don’t Fit In” #2 on “57 Songs You Need In Your Life This Month.”
n 2014, Jackson Philips skipped the city of Angels and trekked North to the Bay Area after leaving Berklee School of Music. This is where he would create the Day Waveproject. He released his Headcase EP independently and soon had millions of Soundcloud plays, support from KCRW, Beats 1, Sirius Alt Nation, and XMU, and shows alongside Albert Hammond Jr. and Blonde Redhead under his belt. Playing every instrument, producing, mixing, mastering, and recording to tape, his 2016 Hard To Read EP spawned “Gone,” which entranced, engaged, and enthralled listeners worldwide, merging fuzzy guitars, heavenly synth transmissions, and soundtrack-worthy melodies.
