Dagelijkse Misère – new self-titled album

Every now and then I come across a band who produce some fantastic music but there seems to be very little recognition of their talents.

None more so than Dagelijkse Misère, a Dutch band featuring members of Iskaa and the Red Cars, who I wrote about a couple of years ago.

I played Desire on my radio show recently, and they got in touch to say they’d released a self-titled album under the new Dagelijkse Misère name in June this year.

I’ve been playing this album a LOT since I found it. Lots of 90s influenced alternative rock with a little post rock thrown in, but not too much to spoil the mix.

And they also have a song called “On A Leash” – and they’re not the first Dutch singer to sign those words over a banging tune. (Clue: this link)

Hard to pick a favourite as all seven songs are pretty strong. Today I’d go for Eyes, Zozo and Pretty Angels.

No social media, no Discogs entries, no blog posts, except this one now! Here’s the album if you have Spotify:
