‘Good Luck Songs’ Album Launch

Date: Saturday, Sep 16 2017
Time: 7:30pm
Venue: Folk House
Price: £10.50
Artists
Daisy Chapman

Good Luck Songs is Daisy Chapman’s third full length studio album, all of which were recorded in Bristol by Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, John Parish, Gruff Rhys). Returning to the Folk House, Daisy will once again be playing in full with a string section and full band. Drawing comparisons from Nick Cave and Regina Spektor, Daisy’s unique voice soars high over dramatic string arrangements and her own beautifully delivered ‘Nymanesque’ piano.

Still taking her dark lyrical cues from the likes of Leonard Cohen, this album offers a brighter tone than her previous releases, only hinting at the melancholy but maintaining its soul and warmth. Daisy continues to draw on both experience and history to form her stories – from the tragedy of Idilia Dubb (a girl who met her fate trapped up a tower in 1851), to the poignant reminiscence of old England in I Used To Own An Empire. Expect beautiful music and harmony from its purest form to its most voluminous. There will be support from She Tells Lies, a singer-songwriter from Bristol very much in the vein of Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley.

7.30pm, £10.50.
