Dutch rock trio Geoff Wyld to release their debut EP Daydreamer
Dutch rock trio Geoff Wyld to release debut EP Daydreamer in August 2021. Daydreamer will be released digitally and on vinyl via M-PX, the record label of Muziekgieterij production company. Made Man is the first single of the EP and is released today.
Geoff Wyld songs echo the rugged nature of the Dutch south Limburg hills. With the breathtaking peacefulness of a group of blossoming cherry trees in the sun, over which dark clouds suddenly seem to appear out of nothing, with a stormy wind raging out and bending the trees. Indie psychedelia infused with catchy guitar melodies, languid pumping bass lines and heavy beats are broken up beautifully.
Geoff Wyld's story begins a decade ago when a high school student Leroy, has gathered all his courage and rings the doorbell of his intended sweetheart with a bunch of flowers in hand. It is not the beauty who opens the door, but her younger brother Patrick. This chance encounter results in a friendship that has lasted ever since and has only strengthened when they started to make music together. Singer/bass player Leroy Huis and guitarist/singer Patrick Claessens not only bond over their love of music; both young men are avid nature lovers and enjoy letting their thoughts just flow on long strolls. Daydreamer is named after the friendship tattoo the two songwriters got together.
Made Man is the first single of the EP: “Made Men is about escaping the ordinary daily routines and the search for adventure. It’s about trying to find balance in between obligations/pressure to succeed and your goals and dreams in life. As young adults in our twenties we have to make difficult decisions that make it hard to find that balance. It’s not easy to get out of your comfort-zone and dive into the unknown.”
A few months prior to the COVID-19 lockdown the band started to work as artists in residence at the Muziekgieterij music venue in Maastricht, the Netherlands. With new drummer Teun Wolfs joining the ranks, the trio made the live venue their second home for almost a year. Rehearsing, writing, arranging, perfecting and finally recording 5 tracks in the venue’s inhouse studio.
With quite a few shows and a number of single releases under their belt, Geoff Wyld already managed to draw a lot of attention outside their south Limburg home. With airplay at Dutch radio station 3FM and an election to Annemieke's A-List at Radio NPO2, but also playlists additions such as Spotify’s New Alternative, Independent Music News (UK), Apple Music’s New Music Daily and The A-List Indie.
