Daisy the Great

Brooklyn, NY duo Daisy The Great have released a new sad girl anthem “Cry In The Mirror” via S-Curve/Hollywood Records. The song is a harmonically rich, introspective track about the banality of the day-to-day struggle that comes with mental health issues; it’s accompanied by a mind-bending video directed by Dillon Dowdell (Wallows, The Regrettes) that looks like it was born out of a trippy, colorful fever-dream that is set in an old school ice-cream shop. 

Daisy The Great’s Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker had this to say about the track: “‘Cry in the Mirror’ is about trying to get to the bottom of your feelings amidst a cultural fascination with sadness and public vulnerability. It comes from a place of trying to understand yourself, but in this world where everything is documented and posted and witnessed, you can end up feeling like you’re experiencing your own life through a lens of how others would see you.”

Daisy The Great's Kelley and Mina make a folk-inflected indie rock that spans a multitude of moods—capable of being clever, devastating, or both simultaneously, spanning harmony-laden folk pop to powerhouse indie rock balladry with their intricate and impossible to resist music. Mina and Kelley started writing music together in 2016.  The duo originally began collaborating on writing a musical about two folk musician buskers who assume the identity of a superstar pop duo. However, in the process of writing the musical, they scrapped it in favor of working on the songs they had originally written for the fictional folk pop group.

By 2018, they released their EP, I've Got A Few Friends and I Wish They Were Mine, and the band grew to include members Barnardo Ochoa (bass, vocals), Justin Danforth (percussion), Sophia Sagan-Gutherz (vocals), and Brianna Archer (vocals) for their live performances.  Daisy the Great's 2020 album, soft songs, was recorded while the duo was quarantining due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The band's 2021 breakthrough Top 5 Alternative single "Record Player" was recorded with AJR and they toured together in 2021. 

Daisy The Great wrap up a spring tour with half alive and have several festivals confirmed for 2022 including Lollapalooza, Firefly and WonderBus. Find the upcoming Daisy The Great tour dates here.
