Daisy The Great Share New EP Tough Kid
Daisy the Great release the Tough Kid EP, their long-awaited follow-up to last year’s album ALL YOU NEED IS TIME, which has been streamed 300 million times globally. The EP’s release also brings us “Time Machine 2,” which enlists the production help of Illuminati Hotties’ Sarah Tudzin to continue the narrative from a standout single of last year.
As Daisy the Great, Kelley Nicole Dugan and Mina Walker make folk-inflected indie rock that spans a multitude of moods, capable of being clever, devastating, or both simultaneously, spanning harmony-laden pop to powerhouse balladry. The pair first met as acting majors at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where they began co-writing a musical about a fictional band before realizing they could make it happen in real life and set out as Daisy the Great.
The first single from Daisy the Great’s Tough Kid EP, a modern summer dating anthem titled “Looking U Up,” came out with an accompanying music video in June. Watch the band perform “Looking U Up” along with new track “Glitter 2” in New Orleans for FLOOD Magazine’s “Neighborhoods” sessions: floodmagazine.com/138568/watch-daisy-the-great-neighborhoods/
The second release from the new EP was a reimagining of indie sleaze classic “Rill Rill” by Sleigh Bells, which the band first teased on Instagram, where the track received excitement from fans and a ringing endorsement from Sleigh Bells themselves.
