From growing up in a soul-centric household to singing and playing guitar in rock bands, Dave Sylvester has always strived to follow a less travelled path. As someone who is a dreamer at heart and is inspired equally by the every day and the unfamiliar, his multi-faceted approach to incorporating conceptual ideas in his music reflects this well. "Sometimes it's okay to embrace the experiences we'd rather forget, as they often end up shaping us more than the ones we want to remember." The process of internalising this at a time where interpersonal isolation and familial, romantic and global disharmony felt inescapable is what sparked the creation of The Space Between You & I. As the album title suggests, the lyrics explore emotional distance of people via either the snapshot of a personally lived moment, an anxious daydream turned into a story or both blurred into one. Pairing that with a genre-agnostic backdrop that features all-alternative nods to indie, hip hop, RnB and drum and bass, The Space Between You & I presents itself as subdued but sanguine.
