| Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Daniel Mist stands out with his cinematic, surreal, and poetic universe. Inspired by Thom Yorke, James Blake, Frank Ocean, and King Krule, he shares a taste for risk and sonic experimentation, along with a tendency to blur the boundaries between genres. After studying mathematics in Paris, he released his first EP Troubles (2020), followed by his second opus Take Me Back To School in 2022. These two projects drew the attention of the French press (La Vague Parallèle, Novorama, La Face B, Maze, La Distillerie Musicale, Arty Paris, ..). He also performed several times on Parisian stages (Les Disquaires, Bus Palladium, Alimentation Générale, Bateau El Alamein, ..). On his third EP The Search, Daniel Mist immerses us in a world that is melancholic, poetic, and introspective. This four-track record offers a true sonic journey, with each song unveiling its own universe without ever disrupting the harmony of the whole. From the electronic folk of Close To Me to the autotuned vocals of Don’t Walk Around, through the languid groove of Landslide, and the shoegaze leanings of The Search, each track sways between gentleness and turmoil.As its title suggests, The Search reflects a perpetual quest: a sonic and introspective search, but also an exploration of relationships and emotions. Here, the boundary between the conscious and the unconscious becomes blurred, just like the line between fiction and reality. It’s precisely this ambiguity that gives the work its depth and resonant power. Tracklist : Close To Me Landslide Don’t Walk Around The Search |
