Brand New - Daisy (2009)

[Alternative/Indie Rock]


This album is fucking nuts, and I absolutley love it.

It's pretty clear that when Brand New was working on Daisy, the only thing on their minds was the fun they would have playing these songs. And If you need any reassurance of that, check out the opener "Vices".

This album keeps building on the grounds set by the two previous releases, but sees the band exploring their sonic frontiers.

It's definitely darker, and very rough around the edges. But that's not to say the "brand new you know and love" isn't here. "Bed" is very reminiscent of The Devil and God Are Raging Inside me, but when you listen to the whole record, you'll know what I mean.

It's definitely a must listen for fans of the band, I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to them, though. (For that, check out Deja Entendu)

In short, Daisy sees the band exploring their sound further, integrating a ton of different influences. They may have just created their most mature album to date, and it's awesome to think what these boys will be capable of in the future.

Check this out nao!

Ps. If I see anyone refer to this band as "emo" again, I will knee you in the teeth.
