Experimental punk outfit Daymaker and the divergent punk moves of "MPC" from their debut full length "Let the Sun Fall"

AP Track Review

Daymaker is a Chicago based experimental punk project born in 2014 and the track MPC from their debut full length "Let the Sun Fall" album via Diversion Records is a jangly post punk rocker with pretty stunning stabs of avant garde punk tones like proto punk flourishes of early influencers like Pavement and the Talking Heads. Strident guitars with big down beats, jammy drum beats joined with fills, heavy delicious choruses and Erin Delaney's wailing vox. Within the sonic fray there is even a Bowie guitar line that feels curious but who am I to question experimental choices. Other songs like Eric's Song and Blood Pressure put a decadent smile on my face. Cambridge and Evil Glow Worm feel like art performance songs pummeled to death with a punk anarchistic ethos in the best possible way. The post punk arc of Mask On is fucking potent, dreamy and much needed in the current musical landscape. Hurrah for this band, wow.

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Daymaker is a Chicago based Experimental Punk project, formed in 2014. The foursome makes music that reflects the joy and confusion of being inside of one of America’s most compassionate art communities and the extremely threatening political concerns that bring those people together. With hard hitting rhythms and ethereal melodies, Daymaker bends genres brining both muscle and care to their huge sound. A pop band with a wild fluidity, Daymaker is anchored most by their intention to acknowledge mutual pain and struggle with a loud and loving release.

Daymaker consistently performs in Chicago and tours nationally. Every show includes an offering of fresh fruit to the audience, hoping to encourage a nurturing and respectful atmosphere in which to rage. This band’s unmissable liveliness comes through on their first full length release “Let the Sun Fall.”
