Blue Daisy releases his new album, entitled 'Darker Than Blue’ this Friday through R&S Records! 'Darker Than Blue’ is an unswervingly honest, highly personal album – Blue Daisy distills his personal experiences in to this cinematic meditation on the clash between the forces of dark and light, yin and yang, good and evil. Wrestling with inner and outer, unconfined to one specific genre, the record traverses brooding rock, intense rap, elements of the blues, and is imbued with a punk attitude and aesthetic throughout. Highlights include gospel-tinged 'My Heart', caustic battle hymn and title track 'Darker Than Blue', and the blistering ‘Gravediggers’.

Blue Daisy about ‘Gravediggers’: 'walking down a deserted, dusty road, with all the chaos lurking in the shadows at night; like the underbelly of a harmless-looking town, where the snakes and beasts are hidden deep but are awake and on the prowl. The guitars, when the chorus kicks in, are where the chaos is represented. Think Black Sabbath meets Tom Waits, or White Stripes meets Seasick Steve featuring Nat King Cole—bluesy rock ballad with a punk aesthetic and energy! Rebel music!'
Blue Daisy is vocalist, musician and producer The North Londoner’s ambition to make timeless music has resulted in a slow stream of high-caliber releases and thrilling, increasingly adventurous live shows. His debut single was awarded Pitchfork’s coveted ‘Best New Track’ status, and album, The Sunday Gift, was warmly received and heralded as Electronic Album of The Year by MOJO magazine. Then, in 2013, Blue Daisy rebooted and embarked on a new chapter by unleashing the defiantly NSFW track Fuck A Rap Song – The Guardian newspaper’s Single Of The Week – opening for Public Enemy, featuring and producing on kindred musical spirit Tricky’s latest album, and starting what would eventually become 'Darker Than Blue'. Widely respected label R&S Records recently signed Blue Daisy adding his ever-evolving talent to an already vital discography that includes James Blake, Aphex Twin, Lone and others.
