daydreamers have put out their latest single
'I Expect Better' through Robots + Humans / Epic Records, accompanied by a deliberately rough-around-the-edges music video.
Written during a turbulent stretch for frontman
Riley, the track captures a period where multiple aspects of his life felt unstable. He reveals, "'I Expect Better’ came falling out of that period. I love how simple and effortless it felt; pretty much 90% of the demo was kept in the final version.”
Rather than opting for a slick visual accompaniment, the band chose to embrace imperfection with their video. Riley explains, "The goal was to take the piss out of ourselves and let our personality shine through. To me, it's a visual representation of my brain: chaotic, messy, excitable, and unpredictable."
Prior to 'I Expect Better', the North London four-piece shared '
She Is A Time I'm Living In' and '
Good Intentions'. Their self-titled debut EP arrived in 2024, and the group have appeared at Reading & Leeds, Latitude, TRNSMT, and The Great Escape.
