Creating her own unique flavour of genre-fluid music Daisy Harris takes inspiration from the likes of Mazzy Star and The Lemonheads to cement her brand of indie-pop guitar music. Her impressive musicianship shines through with her multi-instrumental ability and wonderfully translates into transcendental and heartfelt music.
Harris (vocals/ guitar/ banjo/ ukulele) has already worked the showcase circuit across Glasgow and with total self-sufficiency when it comes to recording and mixing and has been dominating the Manchester music scene with live shows following the release of her debut record ‘Tornado Dreams’ earlier this year.
Following on from the single ‘Wanna Be Your Boy’ that explores narratives of gender envy and crushes, her latest exploration into sonic wonderment comes in the form of ‘Known’. Recorded and produced in her cousin DAVOLI’s studio, the Nottingham-based produced lent a rich acoustic-tinged soundscape that perfectly complements Harris’ emotive vocals. Complete with harmonies and scaled vocalisations, ‘Known’ takes its roots in delicate guitars homely folk sounds.
With lyrics like “I learned to sing just to sing your name / And I don’t know a lot of things / But I knew you right away”, Harris poetically sings her innermost thoughts through a delicately penned narrative on love.
Inspired by Dutch band K’s Choice influential record ‘Cocoon Crash’, Harris plucks elements from ‘90s cuts to create her own unique blend of soft, acoustic melodies and deeply personal lyrics.
Talking on ‘Known’, Harris comments, “Being able to make this song with Davoli in his beautiful studio was an absolute dream. I love it and I hope its warm, sweet vibe brings listeners peace and joy.”
Taken from her latest body of work, the EP ‘Forest Girl Rock’ is set to be released early December and is a collection of tracks that highlights Harris’ evolution as an artist and her growing maturity as a musician; “I really do believe this is my best work yet. It’s been a blast to make this EP with my dad and cousin also, whose talent and openness I’m so grateful for.”
With this EP, Harris moves away from indie-folk to a sound that resonates more with the works of The Cure, Smashing Pumpkins and Snail Mail.
