There are some that take an almost Post Modernist approach to being in a band. The Cramps, B-52's, Tubes, Jellyfish, Cheap Trick, Dandy Warhols and the like seem to exist within this tradition..Now Daisy Glaze seem determined to take this noble if slightly odd tradition forward.
Eponymous debut album, just out, seems set to remind you of stuff. that's its intention and reason for existence. whether that's Nancy & Lee, Morricone; Nitszche or whatever. Strangely it didn't remind me of Big Star which I'd proginally assumed it mightl, given that their name is also the name of a song on that band's classic second year Radio City.
This kind of eternal revisionism, looking ever backwards, is forever in rock & Roll's DNA now, given its venerable age. I don't mind that at all, there are plenty of records that come out on an annual basis that do little more than mine the past. In Daisy Glaze's case I found the resulting album rather soulless and unmemorable and sadly won't be back.
