Daisy the Great – The Rubber Teeth Talk
NYC duo Daisy the Great kick off 2025 with the announcement of their new Catherine Marks-produced (boygenius, St. Vincent, Alanis Morissette) album The Rubber Teeth Talk, which will arrive June 27th via S-Curve Records.
Today, the band has shared the album’s first single, the spunky, hook-filled anthem “Ballerina” and its accompanying video, directed by Zachary Tavel.
Driven by the constant societal pressure to be perfect, Mina Walker and Kelley Dugan wrote “Ballerina” to process the smoke and mirrors around perfection in a world of social media. “Ballerina represents a childhood dream of perfection: something that is unattainable, but real enough to give yourself something to compare yourself to,” explains the band. “You look for the ballerina in the search for beauty, purpose, talent, body, and success — and prescribe it to the people you see around you and on social media, who seem to have that air of flawlessness. But the truth is they are also looking for ballerinas because we live in a society that feeds you this idea that even though you’re not perfect, someone out there is.”
What can be heard across The Rubber Teeth Talk’s 11 tracks is Daisy the Great’s limitlessness and utterly infectious and transformative sound. On creating the record, Catherine Marks adds, “We laughed a lot making this record but there were also many moments that made us shed a little tear. When I first heard the songs I was immediately transported into their world. I love the character and sonic identity we’ve created for each song, guided by their storytelling. This album is so undeniably them and I love it.”
The band will head out on their Spring 2025 Headline Tour on April 1st in Montreal and play across North America, with stops in Montreal, Toronto, Nashville, New York City, and Los Angeles!
