Days to Come is the second extended play (EP) by American DJ and record producer Seven Lions. Released on October 16, 2012, via Owsla, it consists of four songs. The EP charted on multiple Billboard charts such as Dance/Electronic Albums and Heatseekers Albums.

Background

The EP was described as "representing the blossoming talent of a precocious producer who is finally starting to receive the attention he deserves."[1] Speaking about the EP's creative process, Seven Lions said "It's pretty much the same process with every song. I write very linear, start with the intro/theme and then work through it from there. I tend to spend 3–4 weeks on one song. This year has been a big transition for me and I think that comes out a lot in the diversity of the EP."[3][4] Sputnikmusic called the EP an attempt by Seven Lions to expand his sound but "ends up with more of the same."[5][6]
