Daisy and The Deadheads

“New Banger” NME

“...Feels nostalgic. It’s the sort of song you feel like you’ve heard a million times but could never be sick of” Far Out

“a wander into the world of mellow, jangly, indie-folk” So Young

“hard to ignore, and delightfully harder to get out of your head” Loud Women

“Cosy and misfitting as an oversized knitwear; as gently glowing as a flickering candle (yet no less able to ignite fires)” Hard of Hearing

Ahead of a special headline show at the iconic Brixton Windmill, London Folk Wonk Pop quartet Daisy and The Deadheads share new EP Butter Wouldn’t Melt - out now (7th June) via Mango Wax Records (Maximilian, Lando Manning).

Featuring the joyfully-shambling ESG-lite grooves recent single ‘Baby’ - which counted NME, Far Out and Loud Women among its backers - leading the three-track release comes ‘Frog’. With fluttering melodies and swung rhythms that break down and collapse before triumphantly reassembling themselves with renewed vitality, frontwomen Daisy Tortuga playfully negotiates the topic of ‘difficult conversations’, and how, to our detriment, we might tend to avoid them:

“Frog is one of those songs that I have re-written over and over with different chords, for different projects. I’m glad it’s finally stuck. It’s about the struggle to have difficult conversations with a partner, and the way people can put these conversations off. Charlie, our drummer sings through a distortion pedal, which gives an earthy synth feel. I think there's a warmth to the whole song, at least sonically."

 Releasing the first teaser from the her upcoming Butter Wouldn’t Melt EP, ‘Baby’ last month to support from NME, Far Out, The Most Radicalist, Loud Women and Wax Music - following up from previous backing from So Young, Hard of Hearing, Clunk, and The New Age Magazine - the band prepare for special headline EP launch at the Brixton Windmill on 11th June.
