DACODAC
DEBUT EP 'BC' OUT NOW
Released 08 May 2020
Nottingham’s Dacodac make the kind of music that can soundtrack every
season. From breezy and sunny to melancholic and wistful, their debut EP
‘BC’ presents five slices of varied and quirky indie rock, a rousing
mixture of chunky rhythms, hyperactive guitars, held together by
delicate vocal melodies.
Started in late 2016 by four friends as an excuse to hang out, drink
beer and have fun, Dacodac existed casually in the confines of a
Sneinton practise room until their first live show in December 2017. The
ball was rolling! However, life got in the way as it sometimes does, and
singer Flo jetted off to the USA on a research project for her job. A
year later, the band picked up again and slowly began to relearn and
refine the songs they had written, as well as adding a couple more to
their repertoire.
After a handful of shows and a quick ask around the Notts DIY scene,
they collected enough mics and gear to record in their practice space. 5
tracks were recorded by the band over a couple of days and handed over
to London-based producer Bob Matthews for mixing. After mastering by Joe
Caithness, ‘BC’ was ready to be released into the wild on 08 May 2020.
Almost four years for 5 tracks might seem like a glacially slow pace,
but the band are fine with that. They enjoy taking things easy, with the
music acting as an outlet to their busy lives. The songs benefit from it
too, getting plenty of time to breathe and evolve. After all, this band
exists as a vehicle for friendship; the actual song writing side of it
is just a bonus.
All proceeds from Bandcamp sales are being donated to two Nottingham
based charities,
Harmless
and
Nottinghamshire Sexual Violence Support Services.
