Auckland-based indie-band Daily J have today released their new single, ‘Sunday Stitches’, the second to be lifted from their highly anticipated third studio album. The new release follows the success of their May single, ‘Happy Slides’, which propelled the band forward after their well-received 2020 release, Venus Ate Mars. Daily J’s recent debut UK tour was a success, drawing large crowds at venues throughout the country and culminating in a stunning performance at All Points East in London’s Victoria Park.
‘Sunday Stitches’ is a dynamic track that captures the familiar yet bittersweet emotions of repetitive Saturday nights and the following melancholy. Once again teaming up with producer Joe Faris, who played a crucial role in moulding the sound of Venus Ate Mars and fan favourite, ‘Left Me Like Summer’, Daily J have infused ‘Sunday Stitches’ with fast-paced rhythms and high-energy instrumentals that will lift listeners spirits.
Vocalist and songwriter Jayden Paul explains the track’s lyrical meaning:
I wrote Sunday Stitches about the emotional tug-of-war between succumbing to temporary relief and living a healthier lifestyle. It underscores themes of self-awareness, introspection, and the courage to confront personal demons.
‘Sunday Stitches’ reaffirms Daily J’s position at the peak of their artistic journey, ready to release their most captivating work yet. The upcoming new album promises to showcase the band’s evolution, highlighting their creative prowess through a blend of emotion, innovation, and irresistible melodies.
