Blue Daisy – Darker Than Blue - R & S Records
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, good and evil.
Wrestling with inner and outer demons he leads us on an intense
spiral of a journey fuelled by uncomfortable truths, sleepless nights,
love, loss, religion, faith and doubt. Unconfined to a genre, the
record traverses brooding rock, intense rap, blues and is imbued with a
punk attitude and aesthetic throughout.
The album displays a dazzling array of sonics, the gospel overtones
of'My Heart', the caustic battle hymn of the title track, to the
blisteringly anthemic 'Gravediggers'. Blue Daisy is vocalist, musician
and producer Kwesi Darko. 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. In 2013 he rebooted and embarked on a new
chapter by unleashing the defiantly NSFW track Fuck A Rap Song - The
Guardian's Single Of The Week - opening for Public Enemy, featuring and
producing on Tricky's album and starting what would eventually become
Darker Than Blue.
