daine – Product of Profit (P.O.P.)
daine shares a new single “Product of Profit (P.O.P.)” off their forthcoming debut album In Endless Awe & Agony, due November 6th via Pack. Records.
The song explores the uneasy reality of being a performer, confronting the feeling of becoming a commodity to be packaged, consumed, and sold. The track comes alongside a music video co-directed by daine, Isaiah Cirillo and Dylan Marriot featuring close-up shots of daine singing directly into the camera.
The new single follows their recent cover story with NME Magazine where daine spoke about, “stepping into self-aware popstardom.” Raw and emotionally expansive, their debut album finds daine pushing beyond a maximalist pop sound while embracing a broader, more ambitious artistic vision. Structured around a Jungian individuation arc, In Endless Awe & Agony traces the process of confronting the self, grappling with identity, desire, fear, and transformation.
daine will be embarking on their headline North American album release tour this December. Beginning in Toronto, the tour will head to New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Portland and San Francisco, before concluding in Los Angeles. Given the high demand the NY show was updated to a larger venue and daine will now be performing at Elsewhere’s Hall while an extra date was added in LA at The Echo. daine will also be performing at Pitchfork London and Pitchfork Paris this fall and recently wrapped a tour with Ninajirachi and Lucy Bedroque across Australia. The North American tour will run on the heels of their headline Australian run this November.
The new single follows “I Used To Kill” featuring fellow label artist Aldn, “love love (love love),” a candid meditation on the tension between self-isolation and the longing for connection and “PQC,” which received early praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Stereogum as well as The FADER. The latter of which described the track as, “Catchy as a children’s tune and as dancey as any electroclash banger.”
daine has spent over half a decade exploring a diverse, but distinct sonic palette experimenting with their vocal delivery and refining their craft as a songwriter. The journey toward In Endless Awe & Agony emerged from one of the most difficult periods of their life, marked by the loss of their grandmother, the end of their longest relationship to date, and time spent in a psychiatric ward. In the year that followed, daine slowly began to reemerge – returning to the stage, releasing the EP i want the light to swallow me whole, and intentionally making space for joy again. That gradual movement from survival toward renewal became a defining thread woven throughout the album.
The result is a body of work that is both cerebral and deeply affecting with introspective sounds that shimmer and soar, inviting listeners to reflect on life’s biggest questions without ever sacrificing emotional connection. The record moves away from heavier digital processing and toward something more exposed and human. The album is also the first time daine sings without autotune, which adds another layer of immediacy to the music.
Throughout their career daine has collaborated with artists including Oli Sykes (Bring Me The Horizon), Ericdoa, 100 gecs, and Kreayshawn. Their work has also earned support from Beabadoobee, Charli XCX, underscores, and Wisp.
