Brand New is a band, not a condition, for all those unfamiliar with the artists of Brand New and hear the question “did you hear the Brand New album?,” don’t ask “what album?”
Jesse Lacey, probably the most depressing singer since Morrissey of the Smiths has gotten a little happier, or at least it seems with the newest Brand New album, “Daisy.”
The fourth album from emo-rock Long-Islanders, “Daisy” seems to mean that the band isn’t headed for a breakup as last thought from the 2006 release of “The Devil and God are Raging Inside of Me,” a suicide-based cry for help.
The style of this album branches different genres; whether you’re looking for a good indie attempt, an emo ballad compilation or even a solid alt-rock album, “Daisy” fits every criteria.
Lacey’s songwriting and music landed them in the Top 20 Billboard Charts, at number 6, a first for the band and the genre in general. Never before has this style of music made a significant impact on the music scene.
From the opening gospel hymn on “Vices,” as well as Lacey’s missed screaming voice all the way to long and drawn out tempos, “Daisy” is more than a fly-by-night emo project, but a way of thinking; the album is exactly what the word daisy reminds listeners of: beauty.
