Day – Land Of 1000 Chances by DJDay
It’s a super vibey and totally pleasant listening experience. He’s been getting love from many of KCRWs DJs and recently our own Jeremy Sole DJ’ed at Day’s record release party at the Ace Hotel.
You can bask in the glow of Day’s full length album Land of 1000 Chances as it’s released today.
