London based musician David Foster aka daidrum  is releasing his second album, All at sea on the 10 April 2025.

The album consists of 9 songs, and weighs in at just under an hour, including the two previously released singles, Merry go round and Lonely Planet. 

All at Sea was recorded at Foster’s home studio in London, and mixed in London and Cornwall. Listeners will spot influences from Marillion, Phish, Tears for Fears and 70’s classic and progressive music.

From 2021’s formative debut album, The Wild Winds Coldy Blow, until the new album  Foster has clearly evolved as a songwriter, musician and producer. Foster’s chosen artist name Daidrum comes from an old nickname, gained whe  he was a drummer in Welsh Rock band Eight Miles High, during the late 1980s, Dai being Welsh for David. Since then he has played in numerous bands as diverse as Death metal band Lord of Darkness, and Hertfordshire based National Funk Service. 

However lockdown 2020 gave him the opportunity  to spend more time writing and recording and the result was debut album, The Wild Winds Coldly Blow released in 2021. 

 Like it’s predecessor All at Sea will feature elements of prog, pop, folk and rock and reflects Foster’s diverse experience as a musician 

“Above all I want to write good songs, songs that tell stories and music that is beautiful,  accessible, and thought provoking” says Foster of his creative process. “ I converted my double garage into a recording studio, which is where I write and record all Daidrum’s music” 

Live work is a possibility but not yet scheduled. As Foster says, “Finding and paying musicians to perform the songs on the scale and ambition of the arrangements on the album is proving challenging on my current streaming revenues, however if you live in North London, I may turn up in your local pub with my guitar!” 

The album's themes include  community, the challenges of parenthood, family roots, love and loss. The central theme of the album is that we are figuratively “All at sea” for much of our lives.
