Daphni aka Dan Snaith has today shared a new single ‘Sad Piano House’. The track represents something of a continuation in the Daphni catalogue with its roots growing from ‘Cloudy’ – a standout from his 2022 album Cherry – and its subsequent Kelbin remix, something in its makeup having a profound effect when played on dancefloors by Snaith and countless others. ‘Sad Piano House’ deploys more intangibly irresistible bendy piano to equally satisfying effect.

‘Sad Piano House’ is Snaith’s first release since the latest Caribou album Honey and his first solo Daphni release since 2022’s Cherry, following on from ‘Unidos’, his recent collaboration with Sofia Kourtesis from last month.

Speaking of the track Snaith says:
“i dj’ed a lot last year in the lead up to the caribou album and inevitably ended up making a bunch of new music to play out in those sets. i’d made this one but knew that i wasn’t sure about it or when it would ever get a release so i sent it over to ben ufo and he started playing it and people started asking me about it. now i’ve finally got a chance to finish it off and release it. i’d given it the temporary title ‘sad piano house’ when i sent it because it’s piano house… but, you know, not that kind of piano house… i didn’t really intend for that to be the final track title but once it appeared in a couple of tracklists for radio shows and people started asking about it, the title stuck.”

With more new Daphni tracks to come, Snaith will be DJing across the summer and has just announced a special 7 hour set at London’s FOLD on 22 November. Having just played as Daphni at the debut of Floating Points’ Sunflower Soundsystem at Gala Festival (as well as headlining the Sunday as Caribou), Daphni will be headlining the Glade Dome at this year’s Glastonbury and playing a show in Bristol at Prospect in October. More Daphni DJ dates across the summer and beyond to come, plus Caribou headlining the Park Stage at Glastonbury and End of the Road Festival.
