Delaney Davidson looks wryly at the packed suitcase, nailing the last things into place for his 2018 migration.

It was supposed to be a year of settling in but the world has other plans for him, starting with his new album release.

50 days into 2018 and Davidson has ticked off a 6 song writing session with SJD (Sean James Donnelly), an album production for Belladonna (Lytteltons black metal doom band), publicly debuted his work with Barry Saunders (The Warratah?s), recorded a Charlie Feathers tribute album with Dr Bruce Russell (the Dead C), confirmed his return to The Great Escape Brighton UK, put a European tour together, and capped it off with an international label signing.

UK label Glass Records Redux (Spaceman 3, Spiritualized) has picked up "Shining Day", Delaney Davidson's 9th Solo Album.

It has been 2 ½ years since the release of his last studio album "Lucky Guy". The release will coincide with his 14 date tour with long-time collaborator Marlon Williams taking in Brussels, Cologne, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Zurich, Besancon, Paris and Utrecht.
