Few moments match the beauty of a room full of people who feel the same way. All of the other “differences” disappear, and everyone rallies around a common emotion. Under this light, even sadness turns into happiness.

daydreamers live for those moments when a crowd of strangers forgets its troubles in favor of smiling and singing along. The UK quartet—Riley [vocals, guitar], Aurora Mannola [bass], Jay Lewis [drums], and Marco Bastianoni [guitar]—pacify anxiety, stress, and heartbreak with balmy guitars, sunny melodies, shimmering ethereal soundscapes, and kind of nostalgia typically reserved for the big screen.

After generating millions of streams and building international buzz, the band uplift with a series of 2024 singles for Epic Records and much more to come.

“To me, daydreamers is ‘Sad Euphoria’,” observes Riley. “The lyrics will tear your heart out, but the music is euphoric. It’s built around playing live. We want to create a space where people are shouting back their feelings to us and we’re all connecting. Even though the emotions are intense and often overwhelming, we’re all optimistic in the moment because we’re together.”
