They are also proud recipients of the London Folkfest Songwriting Award for New Creativity.
Their previous single ‘Neon Love Song’ [Part II]’ was hand selected by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey to feature in their Summer 2012 Eyewear Campaign. The feature was very well received and This led to the band modelling, walking the red carpet and performing at VIP events around Europe. Adam and Paula also have a foot in fashion, recently modelling footwear for Lacey’s London and Paulo Vandini. Their fashion collaborations are ongoing with more projects in the pipeline for the future.
The Daydream Club are currently promoting a new double EP, ‘Found’ and ‘Found (Remixed)’. The original EP offers a rootsy slant on folk-pop, chocked full of The Daydream Club’s trademark girl / boy harmonies, delivering both epic and intimate in equal measure and regarded as “Timeless” by Consequence of Sound.
