The collection also includes appearances from Holding Absence’s Lucas Woodland and indie artist Amber DeLaRosa.The band has shared the video for their unexpected and enchanting cover of “My Immortal” by Evanescence. Watch it here.
“‘My Immortal’ is a song I’ve loved dearly since I first heard it in high school,” says Rodriguez. “I truly always wanted to cover it, but the timing didn’t feel right until we started this album. It’s easily my favorite cover we’ve ever done.”Commenting on the album itself, Rodriguez says, “Replica is one of our favorite releases to date. It completely shows a new side to our band and the kind of music we’re capable of creating.”Replica is the somewhat unexpected (yet welcomed) result of a specific gig in 2022, when the band’s gear overheated at Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Thinking on his feet, Rodriguez grabbed an acoustic guitar from the van, plugged in, and performed “Without Me.” Soon, he had pulled together a five-song set on the fly as thousands of fans flocked to the stage. “I felt like we let people down, but I had so many friends say, ‘Everyone will remember the day your equipment stopped working and you still played the set as a really special moment’,'” he recalls. “It felt natural for our songs. We usually will do extra tracks for a Deluxe version or re-release, but we decided to commit to an entire acoustic album this time.”

The band has steadily built a buzz over the past several years — and they have reached a tipping point. Dayseeker have become a standout with 2019’s Sleeptalk into the post-hardcore scene. The album has gone on to accumulate over 125 million streams, and it positioned the band as a formidable force — and one that is primed to take its next big leap. In 2021, the band dropped a deluxe version of Sleeptalk, featuring four reimagined versions of album tracks, which offered fans a fresh and unique take on songs they already love. It also demonstrated the depth and breadth of the band’s creative vision, scope, and possibilities. However, Dark Sun catapulted the band beyond the scene’s stratosphere. The album is out now via Spinefarm and is at 80 millions streams.
