ANDmo math-rock group Daydream Plus are behind what is probably the most niche record launch of 2026. Their jangly debut album 'Second Last Day Of Summer' was released earlier this month, with fans able to pick up CD and vinyl versions as well as stream the hooky, instrumental soundscapes. However, and here's where things get odd, the band have also created an 8-bit chiptune remix of the full-length that's currently only available as a fully-functional Nintendo Entertainment System cartridge. That's right, you'll need a 40-year-old console to make it work. Why? Well, according to Daydream Plus' guitarist and mastermind Payson…

It appears I've been given her number instead of his, as she explains before rattling off his digits. The mix-up makes sense: Since Louris and Stephanie Stevenson got married in 2020, she's become intrinsic to the Jayhawks frontman's creative process — not only inspiring songs, like on his 2025 solo album Dark Countrybut becoming a de facto band member. “A lot of this record is an ode to my wife, Stephanie,” Louris tells me when I finally get him on the phone. “We look…
