Inviting listeners into their creative universe, Australian trio daste. offers a chance to enter their sonic space with "dasteWORLD", a meticulously crafted album that allowed them to explore, experiment, and most importantly, have fun with their songwriting process. Featuring previously released singles like "Around", "Colours", "Atlas", "Starwriter", "River", and "Tide", alongside six brand-new tracks, the album encapsulates the essence of what daste. truly means to the band.
“We wanted dasteWORLD to encapsulate what daste. really means to us. It’s our own little world that we explore when we write songs, and writing for an album almost feels like some form of world-building,” explains Tyler Harden of daste. This sentiment shines through in the record’s rich soundscapes, seamlessly blending dreamy indie-electronica with soulful grooves and heartfelt lyricism.
The album thrives on a sense of creative freedom- each song unfolds like a new chapter in their musical journey, offering moments of introspection, nostalgia, and euphoria. Their signature smooth production, warm synth textures, and intricate rhythms create an immersive listening experience that feels both personal and expansive.
Following their sold-out Australian tour supporting Still Woozy, daste. are now set to bring "dasteWORLD" to international audiences with upcoming shows in Los Angeles, the UK, and Europe, including festival stops at Dot to Dot and Cross The Tracks. With this release, daste. prove that their world isn’t just one to escape into- it’s one worth staying in.
