ALBUM REVIEW: Dag och Natt – Years and Years

Labrador Records

Released: 15.08.25

Fluid, bewitching and ethereal, Years And Years marks a compelling debut by four-piece Dag och Natt (Day and Night in their native Swedish). A distant wistfulness permeates the album from start to close: cool, glassy tones and light, flowing vocals commingle to create a shadowy and shimmering whole, reminiscent of Slowdive and Cocteau Twins.

Whilst primarily an album in which to immerse oneself in full, its strengths lie in its opening tracks, See Through and leading single Iron Man. Foreboding undertones accentuate the album’s darker inflections, with dreamlike voices suspended above. Lyrical themes of water and the faraway seem oddly evocative of the wardrobes and bathrooms of the countryside home in which the album was largely recorded. Celestial, in all.
