Music

'She Took Flight' is Daisy's fourth full length studio album. Drawing comparisons from Nick Cave and Regina Spektor, Daisy's unique voice soars high over dramatic string arrangements and her own beautifully delivered 'Nymanesque' piano. Still taking her dark lyrical cues from the likes of Leonard Cohen, this album offers a more ethereal, even film score tone than her previous releases, but maintaining its soul and warmth. Daisy continues to draw on both experience and history to form her stories - one of Edward Gorey's poems is set to music purely with string quartet and Daisy's voice in 'The Gashlycrumb Tinies' and there is poignancy galore in 'Wind Horses' and Porcelain, a song about her father's last days on earth. Expect beautiful music and harmony from its purest form, to its most voluminous. Daisy certainly knows how to craft a song, and arrange the instrumentation so that the listener is constantly engaged. What is always evident, is that Daisy is a well travelled and experienced musician, and has come a long way from performing to three people at a dreary club in the Lower East Side of Manhattan when her musical journey really began.
