The concept of the daylight x darknight began as an experiment to merge contrasting styles–not necessarily genres–but a balance of light and dark sounds, each side exploring a different mood.
daylight x darknight moves between shimmering, melodic moments and heavier, more shadowy textures. Opening the compilation is the lush, guitar-driven“Wanton” from shoegazers Phantom Wave. Side A also includes Phoenix duo Dear Dorrit, Pittsburgh noise pop band Weird Era, Leeds lo-fi garage project Pin-Up Sisters and Boston’s Lesbiana. Side B kicks off with New York post-punk/dream pop bands doubleshot and Iceblynk, joined by Michigan-based The Photocopies, and alternative pop artist Exit Moon. daylight x darknight also features brand new and exclusive songs from navel grazr, SNAKEY DUBLAY, Lesbiana and GLICH3,
Curated by soundvsystem, the debut compilation continues its mission to champion indie artists. The result is a compilation that feels both cohesive and unpredictable, much like the scenes it pulls from.

“daylight x darknight is a curated riot, a journey through the spectrum where melody collides head-first with noise. This is a scene being built in real-time, brick by discordant brick.” - Buzzy Band
“This is a successful exploration piece for any serious music fan.” - Add To Wantlist
“It plays almost like a tight little playlist someone made with real care, pulling together 12 tracks from 12 different artists without breaking the flow.” - Cheers to the Vikings
