Pleased to Meet You: Silk Daisys
Guess we’re starting out our Tuesday with quite a particular vibe, though you won’t hear me complaining over here, especially now that Silk Daisys are on my radar. The project is a new from James Abercrombie and his partner Karla Jean Davis, and they’ve stretched their sound into that nostalgic arena of dream pop. Those crisp little guitar notes brighten the melody then fade into the distance, letting the lush soundscape collect your emotions as Davis sets up her vocal delivery. I love the way she seems to embrace a bit of French pop, kind of offering this “too-cool-for-school” warmth, or as the kids say, “very nonchalant;” it all works to bridge the sounds together, making the dreamy state couple of with a more accessible pop structure…albeit one encircling a bit of a gothic theme. Pleased to meet you!
