Atlanta-based duo Silk Daisys unveil a charming dream-pop and post-punk convergence on debut monitor “kiss me such as you meant it.” The discharge precedes their debut album, out later this yr and engineered by Damon Moon (Bathe Alone) and mastered by Mark Gardener (Journey).
Moody guitars, fondly paying homage to Chameleons UK, meld with nocturnal synths as a suavely impactful vocal presence emerges — beckoning ultimately to “kiss me such as you imply it.” The sound stirs in its nostalgic, craving immersion and lushly melodic prowess, with shades of Cocteau Twins within the “maintain me” aspirations and textured guitar ascents.
The married duo of James and Karla comprise Silk Daisys, and this monitor captures an early section of their relationship, once they have been simply pals. As James explains:
“Karla and I have been greatest pals for years earlier than we determined we have been in love. We’ve been married 15 years now, however all through our relationship I’ve been afraid to put in writing about us, like it could jinx us or one thing. I needed to recover from that when engaged on the album. I needed “kiss me such as you imply it” to seize the nervousness and pleasure of a primary kiss between greatest pals. That’s a really high-stakes kiss. You possibly can actually wreck a friendship by making an attempt to wedge romance in. Fortunately it labored out for us, however I’d be mendacity if I mentioned it wasn’t a bit of terrifying on the time.”
