Daisychain – Rivers
Chicago-based psych rock trio Daisychain shares their rip-roaring, droney guitar-heavy single “Rivers” out now, with its matching music video, where they let unspoken words hang in the air as interpersonal divides deepen.
The trio’s thrilling debut album All In A Name, produced by renowned producer, mixer and engineer Sylvia Massy (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tool, Prince) is due out June 27.
“Rivers” launches the band’s sound into a new dimension–bluesy, droning, heavy guitars dominate the soundscape, with roaring guitar riffs that emulate a free-flowing river into a sea. On the track’s subject matter, rhythm guitarist and vocalist Sophia Williams says, “‘Rivers’ embodies the unspoken words and dynamics between two people. It describes the static energy that you feel when you say one thing, but the words you really want to say hang in the air around you.
The band cites rock bands like The Black Angels and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club as inspiration for the heavier tune. Lead guitarist Frankie Sripada recalls, “Recording this one was really cool because the producer, Sylvia, wanted a big wall of sound so they beefed up the bass with heavy overdrive and layered the guitars making for a really engaging listening experience.”
On the making of the video, director Terrell Williams says, “We shot in two contrasting spaces, the clean white cyclone screen and the cozy apartment jam, and they gave me the perfect balance of creative freedom and clear vision, which let me hit a flow-state in the edit and bring it all together with trick mirror shots and visual FX.”
Williams adds, “This was one of those edits where everything just clicked, and I’m proud of what we created. Daisychain is a band I’m grateful to have crossed paths with, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.”
