DATADYR's music ranges from the heartfelt and gentle to the energetic and explosive, and it's rarely far between those extremes, and the debut album itself was a collection of the trio's favourite songs, which they had written early on in their careers. As such, it showcased the kind of music its members were influenced by, both as individual musicians and as a band.
"Woolgathering" did, in fact, provide a smorgasbord of atmospheric jazz and Americana with a retro post-pop feel, and, needless to say, there was an abundance of tracks to choose from, some of which, both band and label thought would be perfect for a follow up EP.
As the band explained:
When we entered the studio to record our debut album we knew we had too much material to fit on a record, and now the songs we decided to leave out are being released as an ep!
We also had the pleasure of having Mathias Marstrander play some beautiful pedal-steel on Tamagochi Dream!
We're looking forward to releasing the rest of the songs from the album recording-sessions and hope you like them!
