Austin noise-pop / alternative / shoegaze band Daiistar have returned with their blissed-out new single “Clear“.
The song arrives off the back of their highly-praised 2023 debut album ‘Good Time‘ – an 80s/90s-indebted blend of narcotic noise and melody produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels. Backed by a Sonic Boom remix of ‘Good Time’ album track ‘Velvet Reality’ on the B-side, the neon-pink 7″ is due out May 10th 2024 on Fuzz Club. Pre-order it here.
Having spent 2023 touring North America with The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols – including festival appearances at Levitation/Austin Psych Fest, Desert Daze, SXSW, Freak Out, Treefort and a recent KEXP session to boot – and with a seven-week European tour kicking off in April 2024, ‘Clear’ is the woozy, reverb-soaked sound of a band on the rise.
An unheard cut from the ‘Good Time’ sessions, DAIISTAR’s Alex Capistran (guitar/vocals) says that “the idea behind ‘Clear’ was to write the perfect song for a perfect day. A song that comes to mind on a warm and sunny afternoon; inspiring thoughts of attainable bliss and encouraging you to dream up something nice for your future self.”
