Unbearable Light by DAUNT

“Wistful, world-weary indie pop soul from London singer Will Daunt” - THE GUARDIAN

“Smooth slow-pop at its finest ” BEATNIK

“Ushering in a new project can be tricky but DAUNT nails the process with ease” - LOBF

“Sparse yet overwhelming, with tinkling piano notes and hushed backing harmonies pushing DAUNT to the next level.” - CLASH

‘Drive’ is the first single from Will Daunt’s forthcoming debut EP Unbearable Light – poised for a Spring release via London label Beatnik Creative.

Based in London, DAUNT first emerged with his seductive brand of slow-pop when he uploaded ‘This Body Rushes’ to SoundCloud, racking up 400k plays in a matter of days.

‘Drive’ is a striking first taste of what is to come from his new exceptional body of work. A minimalistic beat and bass line form the romantic foundations for sympathetically delivered vocal hooks with warm, subtle instrumentation that dip in and out of the space where airy gaps are granted room to breathe.

Influenced by swung hip-hop beats, classic soul rhythms and 70s funk/disco bass lines, as well as the genre- experimentation of artists like Beck or Glass Animals, DAUNT crafts unique pop that feels mature and refined.
