Montreal-based singer-songwriter and artist Devon Welsh is the former frontman of the acclaimed Montreal electronic duo, Majical Cloudz. He has recently announced his debut solo album, Dream Songs will be released on August 24, 2018, via You Are Accepted. The album was produced by Austin Tufts of Braids and is a collection of ten powerful songs inspired by the passing of seasons and the intricacies of love.

Today, we are sharing the video for the album’s opening track “By The Daylight”.

Of this song Devon says,

“Life often seems like a catastrophe of one kind or another, events seem out of our control. Sometimes it feels like we’re just swept along in a tide we don’t really understand, and this song is about experiencing that feeling. It was originally made mostly with synthesizers and had saxophone on it, and then when Austin and I started re-recording the demos it got transformed into something built almost entirely around strings. The new arrangement opened a lot of mental possibilities for what the record as a whole could be.”
