Premiere: david ivan neil - Daffodils

Written By Jeff MacCallum

We are excited to premiere the new EP by long time Cups N Cakes favourite, BC based folkster David Ivan Neil. The six song EP Daffodils is out everywhere tomorrow, and features the singer’s trademark delivery over melancholic yet toe tapping arrangements.

The EP is another excellent addition to David’s now extensive catalog, which the Cups N Cakes Network has been covering all the way back to 2019, with our premiere for his single “Walmart Parking Lot” from his album What is Love. The new EP Daffodils was recorded at Raccoon Moon studios with Simon Bridgefoot (who did all of Neil’s previous records) in Abbotsford, just before massive floods swept through BC in November 2021.

The EP comes out on Friday, June 9th and will be available on all streaming services and also for purchase on Bandcamp. The EP carries our highest recommendation, and is not one to be missed.

Jeff MacCallum is our founder. He created Cups N Cakes simply because he had a love of local music. Soon the platform grew beyond the confines of his scene in Edmonton to include all of Canada.

"I did it all very DIY. Everything you see was me learning on the fly. I'm a carpenter not a musician, or a journalist, or a publicist... I'm a carpenter and a weird crazy music fan that thought he could do something fun that might benefit something I care about"

Over the years, MacCallum's commitment to elevating Canadian music earned him a spot as a Polaris Prize Juror, a WCMA Juror, a consultant for music festival curation, and a dear friend to independent music in Canada.
