Daisy Victoria – Heart Full Of Beef EP
DL
Out Now
Punk Poet, Daisy Victoria releases her debut EP.
I like Daisy Victoria, I like her a lot. Her punk attitude appeals to me and her
non-conformist approach to music is a breath of fresh air. The sort of fresh air that you feel like
gulping in as you sprint across open countryside until your lungs feel like
they’re going to burst.
She’s making waves too.
Already advocated by BBC Introducing and the NME, it’s easy to see
why. Her voice at times is like an
operatic Lene Lovich, rolling up and down scales, sometimes unexpectedly but
always beautifully. He debut EP gives several
insights into her styles. Opener, Cloth
showcases her voice which can rise from low to high with extreme ease, and compliments
the thumping drums and heavy bassy guitars perfectly. There are moments of intended ‘out of
tuneness’ too which are fascinating.
The title track, aside from having a wonderful title, included a
fabulous throbbing synth bassline which underpins screaming vocals and
screeching guitars. Maybe a little bit
Cramps, a little bit 70s New Wave, it’s a fabulous interpretation with a
brilliant modern day twist. At times you
think that Daisy will tear her vocal cord and she belts out her superb punk
poetry.
Macbeth To My Lady has already received some airplay and it’s slightly
more commercial edge is appealing to any radio station that is prepared to take
the ‘risk’. With lines like “and when
did you become to spectacularly abrasive” it’s no wonder I’m loving her
attitude and her metaphorical balls. Her
varying styles make her hard to categorise too – maybe post-punk-Indie-poet-shoegazing-rockers
could be the future?
Secret Garden Path has almost rockabilly or Country undertones but
still supported by that Daisy Victoria twist.
Again, the words are nothing short of pure poetry and an absolute
delight to listen to. Unpredictable
guitars riffs and racing melodies.
Ending the Heart Full Of Beef EP is another change of direction as
the pace slows for Tree. Daisy’s angelic
voice reaches up majestically and it’s a perfect closer. Rolling drums and occasional background
echoes effortlessly combine and take this collection to a stunning close.
Daisy Victoria makes fine music, and this could just be the start of
something rather special.
