British alternative band Daytime TV have today announced their forthcoming studio album “Rodeo”, alongside the release of the single “Meditate“.

The song, out now, presents a more pop side to the band in contrast to the rougher edges of recent releases “Pause“, “Sun” and “Creatures” – think Human League meets The Killers.

Written following a profound shift in perspective for frontman Will Irvine, who spent much of 2024 overcoming a severe, life-threatening autoimmune illness, “Rodeo” captures a band shedding creative inhibitions and embracing an unfiltered, high-energy sonic identity.

It was produced by Pete Hutchings (Royal Blood, Foals, Gang of Youths) and will be released on Marshall Records on 19th February 2027.

“When you come close to losing everything, all your inhibitions disappear,” said Will. “You stop caring about trying to fit into a specific genre or pleasing anyone else. “Rodeo” is about stepping boldly into who we really are as a band and as people. It’s an album built on energy, survival, and pure conviction.”

Fans can hear the new songs live as Daytime TV – Will (vocals), John Caddick (guitar), Naomi Boschetti (bass) and Gareth Thompson (drums) – play intimate venues in October on a tour in partnership with the Music Venue Trust, taking in Hull, Coventry, Newport, Milton Keynes, Bournemouth, Liverpool, Sheffield and Edinburgh.

The single, “Meditate“, reflects Will’s renewed clarity, inspired by his experience using mindfulness practices to navigate physical isolation during his recovery.

He said: “Written during a heatwave, “Meditate” is a nostalgic look back at what could have been. A chance missed, the ‘what if’ of THAT relationship. Maybe we could’ve done better. Everything was there for us but we let it pass us by and now our lives have gone in different directions. Dreaming about how life would’ve been different if things had worked out, then snapping back to the present day reality to “meditate & medicate” which is what I was prescribed to reset my nervous system at the time we wrote the song.”

Having earned a loyal fanbase through touring alongside acts such as You Me At Six and Twin Atlantic, Daytime TV’s “Rodeo” represents a leap forward in scale and sound.
