Blue Daisy - Darker than Blue

Review by Gavin Miller

More black metal than most black metal albums, more punk attitude than most punk bands manage in their entire career»

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.
