Biography
Infiltrating the Miami indie music scene with post-punk and lo-fi sounds and intimately heartfelt performances.
Daysleeper is a band that formed late 2008 in Miami, FL by Alfred von Blume (Bass, Lead Vocals) and Emery Cowan (Keyboards, Vocals), who have collaborated on various musical projects since 1999. The two were later joined by Jackie Ransom (Bass, Vocals) and Will Roman (Drums). The focus of this new project is musical simplicity, distinction, and substance.
Genres describing their music range from post-punk to ambient to indie rock. Daysleeper’s influence comes from a wide range of musicians, many of whom combine ambient and minimalist tones with post-punk sounds. Daysleeper distinguish themselves through their oblique lyrics and unconventional song structures. Daysleeper defines their style through the combination of melodic bass lines with analog effects, classical piano, synthesizers, and a blend of post-punk and metal drumming.
Following many great performances around South Florida, Daysleeper is looking to expand their reach to other states and national festivals. They have been featured in a variety of regional newspapers and online music blogs.
Daysleeper finalized their first EP titled “Blazing Automatics”, released on December 21, 2010 and licensed through BMI. The EP is now available for purchase through iTunes and other online retailers.
