Southern California's DAYSEEKER — Rory Rodriguez [vocals], Gino Sgambelluri [guitar], Ramone Valerio [bass], and Zac Mayfield [drums] — are pleased to announce their forthcoming acoustic album ‘Replica’, which arrives digitally on 19th April and physically on 14th June via Spinefarm. Pre-save it here.
The stripped down, intimate renditions of familiar fan favourites highlight the band's songcraft and allow the listener to experience Dayseeker in an entirely new way. The collection also includes an Evanescence cover and appearances from Holding Absence's Lucas Woodland and indie artist Amber DeLaRosa.
To accompany the news, the band have shared a visualiser for ‘Burial Plot’ (Feat. Caleb Shomo of Beartooth). Listen and watch here. This gorgeous version's heft comes from the restrained, refined instrumentation and high impact vocal interplay.
"'Burial Plot (Acoustic)' is our third rendition that's officially been released so we knew we had to make it special and interesting for our fans," says Rodriguez. "Caleb Shomo absolutely helped transform this song and it's one of our favorites."
Commenting on the album itself, Rodriguez says, "Replica is one of our favorite releases to date. It completely shows a new side to our band and the kind of music we're capable of creating."
‘Replica’ is the somewhat unexpected (yet welcomed) result of a specific gig in 2022, when the band's gear overheated at Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Thinking on his feet, Rodriguez grabbed an acoustic guitar from the van, plugged in, and performed ‘Without Me.’ Soon, he had pulled together a five-song set on the fly as thousands of fans flocked to the stage. “I felt like we let people down, but I had so many friends say, 'Everyone will remember the day your equipment stopped working and you still played the set as a really special moment’,'" he recalls. "It felt natural for our songs. We usually will do extra tracks for a Deluxe version or re-release, but we decided to commit to an entire acoustic album this time."
Dayseeker will embark on a UK arena tour this spring with Pierce The Veil and Holding Absence before they kick off an extensive and significant headline tour of the US in May (Including a stop at Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas). They then head out to Australia and New Zealand for a clutch of dates in July. Get tickets here.
Dayseeker’s last album ‘Dark Sun’ has accumulated over 150 million streams to date, positioning the band as a formidable force — and one that is primed to take its next big leap. With this new album 'Replica’, Dayseeker prove that they are one of Post-Hardcore’s most versatile and shining lights and a leading band in the genre. The record was produced, mixed and mastered by Daniel Braunstein (Spiritbox, Emotional Oranges, Silent Planet).
