In Episode #188 of The XS Noize Podcast, host Mark Millar speaks to Hifi Sean, one-half of Hifi Sean and David McAlmont, about their new album Daylight.

Hifi Sean & David McAlmont proudly present their sophomore album Daylight, an exhilarating suite of twelve songs which celebrates, expresses and explores the colours of summer. It will be the first of two albums from the duo, with the nocturnal sister album Twilight released in early 2025. The record glows with confidence and vigour, featuring a decadent mix of club sounds, gospel, new wave, synth-pop, and soul. A rush of tracks evokes the shimmering haze of summer days, hot and balmy, with songs tumbling out one after another like a sequence of
bright, dazzling pop flashes.

With an impressive roster of past collaborations, including Yoko Ono, Crystal Waters, and Bootsy Collins, Hifi Sean teams up with David McAlmont to create a unique palette of alternative electronica. Their new album, Daylight, is an exhilarating suite of twelve songs that celebrates, expresses, and explores the colours of summer.

In this interview, Hifi Sean talks about how he started the band with David McAlmont, the writing and recording of the new album, and lots more.
