Daz Cadwallander hails from the tiny village of Bolton Upon Dearne in the North West. After performing at Tramlines and supporting the legendary Tom Hingley (Inspiral Carpets) he is back with new single, ‘Dream of Yesterday’.
The simple beauty of Scott Matthews is given a gutsy performance by Cadwallander as this song does exactly what it says in the tin.
Chasing yesterday as a songwriting style is a packed field. However, Cadwallander has carved out a space for his approach. Its direct linear narrative could only come from a young soul. Whereas an over 30 something might ponder various missed opportunities, he has extracted a nagging ache that’ seemingly still within a redemptive stage. As a result, a glimpse of hope lurks that it could all be turned around.
Vocally, he beds in nicely between a young, more angelic Tom Waits on ‘Blue Skies’ and Gerry Cinnamon. There is an innocence to his delivery which is delightfully offset by the evocative maturity of the strings.
‘Dream of Yesterday’. is released on March 1st. Be sure to check back here and check it out! A bright future lies ahead.
