Today, Chicago-based psych rock trio\u00a0Daisychain<\/strong>\u00a0announces their potent debut album\u00a0All In A Name<\/em><\/strong> produced by renowned producer, mixer and engineer\u00a0Sylvia Massy (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tool, Prince)\u00a0<\/strong>due out June 27 and available for\u00a0pre-save now<\/a>. Alongside the announcement, the group shares the first taste with 90s shoegaze-inspired track and\u00a0official video<\/a>, “Waste<\/strong>\u00a0Your<\/strong>\u00a0Time<\/strong>”\u00a0out now<\/a>.\u00a0

Plus, the band will hit the road across the Southwest on the\u00a0She’s A Freak<\/em>\u00a0tour beginning on May 22 in St. Louis, MO with stops throughout Texas, California and more, concluding in Chicago for a special album release show on June 20. Tickets are on sale now via\u00a0daisychainmusic.net\/shows<\/a>.
The forthcoming spirited album,\u00a0All In A Name,<\/em>\u00a0showcases Daisychain’s complexities as people, tight-knit bond as friends and versatility as artists, featuring sounds from wood winds, chimes, pump organs, mixed with synthesized vocal and guitar harmonies. Inside her Ashland, Oregon-based studio, celebrated producer Massy created a safe space for the group to experiment and elevated their sound and strengths, whittling 100 tracks down to ten. Matching the band’s name, the project sonically blends sultry and soulful vocals with moments of fierce garage-rock and classic 1970s rock, resulting in a robust, thrilling listening experience.

Vocalist and bassist\u00a0Nickole<\/strong>\u00a0Regala<\/strong>\u00a0is proud to present a project that is true to who the group is today and celebrates female voices. On the raw creative experience, Regala says, \u201c\u2018All in a Name\u2019 will always represent to me the discipline, vulnerability, and humility it takes to make a great album. Whether it was the intensity of the writing process, the three-week recording sabbatical, or life just life-ing us, this album feels like us which is why I can\u2019t stop listening to it.\u201d<\/em><\/strong>

Filled with layered harmonies and dance-pop guitar tones, “Waste Your Time” out today chronicles the complexities of unrequited love. Citing their main inspirations on the track, the group pulled from 90s English shoegaze band Catherine Wheel and Ty Segall’s pop-leaning sounds. Lead guitarist\u00a0FrankieSripada<\/strong>\u00a0shares,\u00a0“This song is about someone wanting to get involved with another who doesn\u2019t necessarily want them back, with lyrics that paint the picture of an unrequited love affair.”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Speaking to the writing process Sripada shares,\u00a0“I brought the instrumental framework and later, Nickole added lyrics and vocals to it with Sophie adding harmonies and additional lyrics.”<\/em><\/strong>Together, the group forms their tracks by picking up where the other left off creating a mosaic of their personal tastes and touches.

Shot by\u00a0Terrell<\/strong>\u00a0Williams<\/strong>\u00a0on a snowy, cold day, the playful accompanying video blends footage from the band’s show at Chicago’s iconic\u00a0Metro\u00a0<\/strong>with drone and handheld shots of the group running around their home city. Regala recalls, “Given the blustery weather conditions, the challenge was to get a good take as quickly as possible. Working with the energy of the natural city churning behind us definitely gave us the boost we needed to get some really cool shots that complement the movement of the song.”<\/em><\/strong>

ABOUT DAISYCHAIN<\/strong>
\ufeffDaisychain is an American psych rock band based out of Chicago, IL made up of Nickole Regala (bass, vocals), Frankie Sripada (lead guitar) and Sophia Williams (rhythm guitar, vocals). Formed in 2017, the femme-led group quickly rose to the forefront of the Midwest scene by producing an unapologetically new and yet familiar sound to audiences that harken back to Pink Floyd, Patti Smith, PJ Harvey and Alice in Chains. Their regional traction soon became national as the group have continued to tour constantly all over the US since their formation, with the objective of bringing their sound to international audiences. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
