The Daylight EP

Released in early 2012, The Daylight EP serves as a pivotal bridge in Andrew Belle's discography, marking his evolution from a traditional acoustic singer-songwriter into a more atmospheric indie-pop architect. The EP features two new studio tracks, a reimagined version of a fan favorite, and two live recordings that highlight his prowess as a performer. The title track, 'The Daylight,' became a significant sync success, appearing in various television dramas and cementing Belle's reputation for cinematic songwriting. Sonically, the record is defined by its use of 'wet' production - heavy reverb and delay - which would become a hallmark of his subsequent full-length, Black Bear. The inclusion of the 'Alternate Universe' version of 'All Those Pretty Lights' demonstrates his interest in deconstructing his own pop sensibilities in favor of more ethereal, dream-like textures. It remains a fan-favorite release that captures the artist in a state of creative expansion.
