Toronto songwriter and composer Neil Haverty (frontman of alt-folk ensemble Bruce Peninsula, and composer of the Wildhood soundtrack) is back with “Some Days,” a soulful and synth-driven single that dives into the quiet pressures of daily life – the aspirations we wake up to, and the grace we need to let go when things don’t go to plan.

Hitting the sweet spot between indie soul, alt-R&B, and synth-pop, “Some Days” brims with cloud-busting strings from Mika Posen (Agnes Obel, Timber Timbre), broken arpeggiated synths, and “drunk” drums – all filtered through Haverty’s distinctive lens. Produced and mixed with Leon Taheny (Owen Pallett, Fucked Up), the track blends analog and digital textures, pairing brash yet soulful vocals with a groove that’s both unbothered and motivated.

“I wanted to acknowledge the patterns and discrepancies in how a person can approach each day,” Haverty explains. “Some days are just off. Other days are full of promise and brimming with energy. I’m always interested in the spectrum of variables underneath a topic, and mood is an especially broad playing field for that.”
