Artist description
The Daisies are best described as Meta Folk Rock.Sorta kinda anyway. The idea is to enjoy it but catch a few subtle, unexpected substantive meta vibes as well. If this confuses you, then you may want to find another band to to check out. Otherwise, welcome to our scene! |

Press Reviews
************************************************** "Their vocal harmonies are absolutely gorgeous. "Ejecta Blanket" is probably the best example, it soars and glides with beautiful layered voices. Their instrumental playing is also excellent, with the XTC-like "I Was Your Roundabout" featuring some very neat layering of synths and guitars, and the acoustics of "Feathering Sun" recalls the best of Meddle-period Pink Floyd. It makes me feel like I'm lying on the grass of an English hillside at sunset, without a care in the world." -Toucando.com (Rating: 8.5/10) ************************************************** "Adult contemporary soft rockers with an emphasis on the vocal stylings. When the full band is used, the songs are laid back with lazy drum fills and clean guitars. When solo, it's acoustic guitars and the soft voicing of the lyrics." -Listen.com ************************************************** "Gently psychedelic pop rock. A comfortable depression." -32mb.com ************************************************** Sweet melodies, great vocals, very professional sound, what else to you need?!" -Quick Picks ************************************************** "If you're into the B-word, well the White period is still the most real-world and this is the period which seems to drive The Daisies. Without the frills the songs stand up." -Listener Reviews ************************************************** "Did you dig up that ex-beatle John Lennon...or did you steal Yoko's "lost" Lennon tapes? I felt high and I wasn't taking any drugs, I promise..." -Listener Reviews ************************************************** "Jangly rock = love. A lovely piece of crooked rock. I actually love the vocals... a bit Malkmus-like without becoming another pment ripoff." -Listener Reviews ************************************************** "That slow lonesome, plaintive wail really lets you know that the singer is feeling the song." -Listener Reviews ************************************************** |
