Press Release:

Phoenix doom conjurers Daytripper unveil the new lyric video for »A New Leaf«, one of the most evocative passages from their recently released EP »The Alchemist«. The independent trio has been steadily building a cult following since last year’s debut full-length »Book I: The Trip«, a record that pulled listeners into a sun-scorched mythos where desert mysticism, doomed wanderers, and ancient forces collide.

With »A New Leaf«, the band leans further into the narrative arc that bridges »Book I« and the new EP. Across verses steeped in visions, paranoia, bone-deep rituals, and metaphysical pursuit, the track follows a seeker confronting revelation and unraveling forces lurking behind the veil. The lyric video adds another layer to this transformation, visually echoing the EP’s alchemical themes with a mix of esoteric textures and occult imagery.

Musically, Daytripper tighten their grip on desert stoner doom, but lace the formula with psychedelic Locrian inflections, mysterious synth passages, and a sludge weight that anchors the band’s growing sonic identity. »The Alchemist« marks the group’s most cohesive evolution to date – expanding their universe while sharpening the edges of their doom core.

For fans tracing Daytripper’s ongoing storyline, »A New Leaf« acts almost like a ritual invocation: a turning point where revelation meets consequence, and the myth deepens.

Watch the lyric video for »A New Leaf« and step inside the burning corridors of »The Alchemist«.
