daste. dive into vulnerability with new single ‘River’

Australian trio daste. continues to captivate listeners with their latest single, ‘River,’ a heartfelt exploration of love, fear, and embracing the unknown.
‘River’ marks the newest teaser from daste.’s highly anticipated upcoming album, set to release in February 2025. The track emerges from a deeply collaborative process, beginning in the serene hinterlands of Yamba, New South Wales. Joined by close friends Aidan Rahman and Jess Cameron, daste. crafted the song during an intimate jam session, building its rich emotional core around a lush chord progression. The result is a track that encapsulates the beauty and vulnerability of love, balancing its joys and uncertainties.
As Callum MacDonald of daste. explains:
“Heartbreak can cause fear of love itself and make it hard for you to open up to anyone or be vulnerable again. This song embraces love and the idea of just jumping into the unknown.”
With ‘River,’ daste. delivers a compelling mix of lyrical depth and sonic vibrancy, offering a glimpse into their evolving sound as they build excitement for their forthcoming album. The single is available now on all major streaming platforms.
