Daytoner - Remote Connections (2022)

In an attempt to adapt to the enforced separation of the last 2 years, Daytoner continued the writing and recording of their second band album remotely in their homes across Cornwall, drawing on their experience of performing at over 50 festivals and events since 2016.

The culmination of these isolated sessions is the 'Remote Connections LP', 12 tracks ranging from raucous dance floor funk to soul searching beats, fronted by the SW soul supremo, Lucy Richards on vocals and lyrics, over the bold brass, breaks, keys and guitar of her bandmates. The first single from the LP, 'Time' has received repeat radio support including daytime airplay on Craig Charles' shows on BBC Radio 2 & 6 Music, backing up critical acclaim across a number of funk and soul blogs and radio shows.

The sleeve design and promo video shows a recreation of the Marconi Towers, built at Poldhu Cove at the turn of the 20th century to conduct the first transatlantic radio transmissions and it's just one of the Cornish structures that was to pioneer remote connections across the globe, including Porthcurno's telegraph station and the Goonhilly satellite dishes, through to the Spaceport of today, based near Newquay.

This album has been made possible due to the generosity and support of followers during last year’s crowdfunding campaign and throughout the pandemic.

‘Remote Connections’ is out on limited edition vinyl on Friday 27th May 2022, with the digital / streaming release to follow in stores on June 10th.
