Daybreak

It takes the listener on a vivid maritime expedition, beginning the moment the first rays of light break the darkness of the night and embarking on a lush journey through the early hours of the day and far beyond, until the light slowly fades and night falls once again.
True to Wunder’s now-distinctive artistry, Daybreak is marked by elaborately crafted compositions and elegant pop-jazz arrangements for flute, percussion, brass and strings—supported by a decisive rhythm section, all of which add depth and build on his body of work, continuing to unfold his creative path.
Since his 2019 debut album, Doğu Çiçekler (Eastern Flowers), under the enigmatic moniker of Sven Wunder, Danell has become something of a sensation via a string of records spanning jazz, pop, soul, psychedelia and easy listening. His records, which have drawn comparisons to titans like David Axelrod, have been given extensive acclaim, as well as major award nominations, and he’s collaborated with the likes of Danny Brown, as well as seen his music featured in major fashion campaigns by Tyler, The Creator. “Every day is a ‘pinch me’ moment,” he says.
