Dean Denmark is a Swiss singer-songwriter whose music blends thoughtful storytelling with a curiosity for life’s bigger questions.

Rooted in acoustic songwriting, his work moves between intimate folk-inspired arrangements and atmospheric indie rock soundscapes. Influenced by themes such as human connection, wonder, curiosity and the search for meaning, his songs invite listeners to slow down, reflect and see the world from a different perspective.

His catalogue ranges from classic singer-songwriter compositions to more expansive indie rock productions such as Meeting and The Glass Bowl Test. Following Ghost Town, Meeting and The Glass Bowl Test, his single Old Days is a quiet look back at friendship, memory and the time that passes while we’re busy living.

Press release · Old Days

Friendship, memory
and the passing of time.

When was the last time you sat with the people who knew you before you became who you are?

Old Days is about those rare evenings when old friends meet again and time seems to stand still for a while. Stories are retold, laughter echoes through the years, and for a moment everyone is back around the same fire, with the whole world still ahead of them. But the song also carries the quiet realisation that this life keeps drifting on, and that the old days don't come back.

Built on acoustic guitar and piano, carried by bass and gently swelling drums, Old Days is the most intimate song on the EP. Recorded with producer and drummer Luk Zimmermann at Influx Studios in Bern, it trades big gestures for warmth and honesty, written for the friends life has scattered.

Old Days is the fourth single from Dean Denmark's EP A Retreat Into The Unknown, following Ghost Town, Meeting and The Glass Bowl Test. The full EP is set for release on December 18, 2026.
