Dark and tension-filled 4th studio album from NY's Brand New. Daisy is the follow-up to 2006's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, and the 11-tracker sees the Long Island band experimenting with and expanding its repertoire, from the pop-punk/emo steez that first earned it a major deal to a more leftfield, angst-ridden art-rock sound. Canny melodies, noisy riffs, and wailing vocals from Jesse Lacey are the highlights from the album, check out "At The Bottom," "You Stole," "Bed," and the title track.
