Silk Daisys – Honeymilk

Silk Daisys share “Honeymilk,” the final single ahead of their debut self-titled LP.

Silk Daisys is a dream pop/post-punk project out of Atlanta, GA. It’s made up of James Abercrombie, and partner Karla Jean Davis. This is the duo’s first official release, even though they have been making music together for quite some time. Previously, James had been using this name on Soundcloud for about a decade, uploading random covers and the occasional original song.

“We recorded our album over two weeks with Damon Moon (Bathe Alone, Sleepers Club) at his studio Standard Electric Recorders in Atlanta. Damon was awesome to work with. We spent a ton of time just talking about music the three of us love and sharing songs back and forth. We’d name some obscure part of a song as a reference and he’d get it immediately and dial in the tones perfectly. Damon also played drums and percussion on the album. The three of us produced it together, and it was all really collaborative and fun.”

More about “Honeymilk”:

“This one is about pure infatuation. That feeling when you’re awake but the love of your life is asleep beside you, and you’re in disbelief that you get to be next to this beautiful person. Musically, this one has so many influences, and influences that were influenced by other influences, that it’s almost cannibalistic to talk about it, but I’ll try. I tried to think of this one as if we were a band in the ‘90s covering a ‘60s song. Equal parts shimmer and fuzz. I wanted it to have a doo-wop vibe, almost like “I Only Have Eyes For You” by the Flamingos, but also the album version of “Crimson and Clover” by Tommy James and The Shondells is one my favorite tunes of all time, so I wanted to give it this super fuzzed out solo. Damon put a lot of Space Echo on it, which helped give it even more ‘60s vibe.” -Silk Daisys
