The album charted at No. 1 on the Alternative Albums chart upon release last month, while lead single "Pale Moonlight" is currently Top 10 at U.S. rock radio. It has been a banner year thus far for Dayseeker, with 2026 looking to be even bigger.

ABOUT DAYSEEKER:
Sad rock. That’s usually how frontman Rory Rodriguez describes it to curious newcomers. But there's more to Dayseeker than melancholy. Formed in Southern California and forged in adversity, Dayseeker evolved from post-hardcore upstarts into one of the most emotionally resonant and stylistically agile bands in heavy music today. Their songs don't just process grief, heartbreak, and trauma — they transform them into something magnetic, powerful, and ultimately empowering. Since 2012, this spirit has defined the band, which prioritizes emotional truth over trends, connecting through authentic passion, sonic innovation, and lyrical vulnerability. 2019's Sleeptalk marked a creative turning point — a dreamy, immersive reintroduction that saw the band doubling down on melody, atmosphere, and introspection. That shift continued with 2022's Dark Sun, a devastatingly personal album shaped by the death of Rodriguez's father. Dayseeker graced the cover of Outburn and drew enthusiastic praise from Alternative Pressand alt-rock radio. The profound resonance of the band’s music with fellow outsiders worldwide is evident in their 600 million+ streams. And it's palpable at every show, from sold-out headlining runs in theaters to tours with Pierce The Veil, Bad Omens, and Ice Nine Kills.
