Empty Space
The Daydream Club and Efterlo
WE SAY
There’s an understated elegance at the heart of ‘Empty Space’ – the latest release from the collaboration between Efterlo and The Daydream Club. Following the heartfelt ‘Somewhere To Belong’, this latest track explores a darker, more brooding emotional side of the creative partnership between Jess Matthews, Adam Pickering, and Paula Pickering. Rooted in spacious electronica and ambient-pop sensibilities, the track quietly commands attention with its haunting melodic textures and unhurried emotional depth. Opening with a fragile piano motif and sparse production, the track draws you into its atmosphere with a kind of cinematic intimacy—think Ólafur Arnalds meets London Grammar and a touch of Rhye. It’s the kind of track that finds a home on curated editorial playlists (Chill Electronic, The Most Beautiful Songs in the World) as easily as it could soundtrack a poignant moment in a high-end TV drama. There’s crossover appeal here for sync, particularly in film and with premium brands, and enough sonic nuance to resonate with tastemaker blogs, 6 Music and specialist radio. Lush, evocative, and beautifully restrained, ‘Empty Space’ is a slow-burn gem that rewards repeated listening.
