Creating her own unique flavour of genre-fluid music Daisy Harris takes inspiration from the likes of Mazzy Star and The Lemonheads to cement her brand of indie-pop guitar music.
Her impressive musicianship shines through with her multi-instrumental ability and wonderfully translates into transcendental and heartfelt music.
Harris (vocals/ guitar/ banjo/ ukulele) has already worked the showcase circuit across Glasgow and with total self-sufficiency when it comes to recording and mixing and has been dominating the Manchester music scene with live shows.
To add to her already fantastic discography, Harris has announced the release of her latest project ā the EP āFish Tankā. Harking back to the early 2000ās and taking inspiration from girl-power icons such as Michelle Branch and Imogen Heap, Daisy uses her own memories of growing up in the noughties to produce an EP that sits as the bolder, poppier older sister to 2022ās āForest Girl Rockā. Propelled into creativity by the Frutiger Aero Aesthetic, Harrisā EP screams colourful pop and departs from her usual acoustic stylings.
Speaking on the upcoming release, Harris notes āMaking Fish Tank has got me out of a creative slump and made me so excited to make more music. Itās brought home for me how much more there is for me to explore – the possibilities are endless, and this EP showcases just a few of them!”
Harris preceded the EP with the release of the first track āYour Girlfriendā. With this number. Harris moved away from her usual 90ās-tinged sound and took a jab at channelling her favourite artists of the 2000ās to deliver a fiery pop-fuelled cut about hating your friendās boyfriend. Sitting firmly in the same narrative vein as Avril Lavigneās āGirlfriendā, Harris pays tribute to the female driven pop she grew up with: B*witched and Hilary Duff. Set to be released during pride month, Harris notes āIām so excited to release this song during Pride Month -itās definitely a song of the summer for queer girls!ā.
Comprised of five tracks, and a hidden live gem that forges the bridge between āForest Girl Rockā and āFish Tankā, the new EP stands as Harrisā most vulnerable, and personal release to date.
Moving through the preppy pop of āYour Girlfriendā, to the folksy Twilight-esque emotive lyricism of āBackwoodsā and rounding off with the experimental cocky-pop come ambient soundscapes of āEGODEATHā, āFish Tankā takes a pit-stop tour of multiple genres, in the most natural and refreshing way.
āFish Tankā is out July 14th
