Episode description
Daniel Hugh is an 80s-inspired synth-pop producer and artist from Northampton, England. After spending years in rock bands, Daniel embarked on a solo project in 2020 resulting in an acoustic guitar-led EP titled 'Stories Involving Time'.
'Inspired by Immortals' was Daniel Hugh's second self-penned solo release and was a marked change in music direction. It could be described as a cross between Dreamwave and synth-pop. With 80s influences from Cyndi Lauper, Phil Collins and Def Leppard, the synthwave-inspired instrumentation is fused with contemporary songwriting and structure, along with big choruses to create a dynamic and emotive listening experience.
The 5-track EP explores the internal battle between our demons and their better angels, and at times fixates on a desire to find a deeper meaning behind our existence. Mental health, anxiety and pillars of support are recurring themes throughout the EP.
Daniel Hugh is signed to Retro Reverb Records and is currently working on his next EP, which will be out in 2022.
