Darren Cordeaux, delivers his debut single “You Wait For Something” as Daz & The Demons, a captivating musical gem that emanates introspection and charm.

Darren Cordeaux, the mastermind behind the beloved Australian band Kisschasy, has once again graced us with his musical prowess, releasing his debut single “You Wait For Something” as part of his new project, Daz & The Demons. And let me tell you, dear friends, this song is the missing piece to all your musical cravings.

Darren, or Daz as we lovingly refer to him, is a true artist whose melodies have been waiting patiently to be set free like a secret vault. With boundless creativity and a touch of mystery, he takes us on a sonic journey of unparalleled magnitude, transcending the limits of imagination and leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and souls.

Daz & The Demons - You Wait For Something

An extremely captivating composition emerges with “You Wait For Something,” subtly acknowledging the profound emptiness that lingers within, an abyss one hopes could be assuaged by external forces.

It embodies that elusive instant of gratification, the very zenith we endlessly quest for, yet, alas, it remains an intangible mirage. Daz, delicately croons the melancholic truth: we anticipate an arrival that, alas, never materializes.

Having bid farewell to his role as the lead singer and songwriter of Kisschasy, Daz embarked on a profound introspective journey, diving deep into the recesses of his meticulously curated record collection. It was within the effervescent brilliance of the 1960s that he found inspiration, the era of sun-drenched melodies and jangly guitars that would later become the cornerstone of Britpop’s melodic legacy.

Like a sonic archaeologist, Daz unearthed treasures from influential artists like The Kinks, The Byrds, and The Beatles, marveling at their ability to encapsulate the euphoria of new beginnings and the bittersweet tinge of farewells. These luminaries of a bygone era left an indelible imprint on Daz’s artistic vision, illuminating his path forward.

And now, with his debut single “You Wait For Something,” Daz showcases his evolution as an artist, infusing his music with newfound depth and maturity. This song, like a gentle breeze on a summer’s day, carries the essence of his past while forging a distinctive path of its own.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Daz has gathered a group of incredibly talented musicians to form Daz & The Demons, bringing his vision to life. Mackenzie Howe’s celestial backing vocals, Genevieve Patterson’s enchanting keys, Zachary Schellhase’s elastic rhythms on bass, and Spencer Lere’s impeccable drumming all come together in perfect harmony, creating a symphony of hook-drenched guitar pop and witty, illustrative lyrics.

Their debut album, “8 Songs,” produced by Daz himself, is a testament to their collective artistry. Each track on the album takes you on a whimsical journey, where Daz’s native Australian accent intertwines beautifully with the ethereal vocals of Mackenzie and Genevieve. It’s a musical concoction mixed and mastered by the talented Mike Bridavsky of Russian Recording, known for his work with the likes of Deerhoof, Mac DeMarco, and Built to Spill.
