Low-fi ambient sounds combine elements of RnB and Hip Hop in this otherworldly cut. Bursting with musicality the rich vocals glide above futuristic production as they sing “Remember day one, depression and pop songs, it’s in the blood now, won’t be there long” in beautiful yet ambiguous lyrics. As the airy percussion builds so does the emotion of the thought-provoking track with j maw displaying their unique artistry. 

Talking on the track j maw tell us: “’Day Ones’ is about friendship, Sangha, community - the people that were with you from the beginning and the ones that need to see you get back up after you’ve been hurt. It’s like UFO music because it comes from that other place, the kind of place you can only get to in your dreams.”

Their mystery only adding to the excitement around the release, if “Day Ones” is anything to go by j maw are bound to be on a fast paced, upward trajectory throughout 2023.
