'olinda daze' is the debut album for the daze. it's an eclectic mix of dark vocal music, minimalist soundscapes and wall-of-sound crescendos.

the album exudes that overall laid-back feel that could only come from the olinda hills. the album features nick's trademark dark songs with a twist.. a mélange of aural delights starting with the soothing tones of rae howell's (sunwrae, royalchord) trumpets and vibes, right through to the timeless finesse of melbourne lap-steel virtuoso joel bloom. the result is a musical journey worthy of a soft couch, a good glass of red and a pair of quality headphones!
