Expanding from a solo project to a collective effort, 'I Hate The Sea' is the endearing debut single from newly-formed London outfit Daisy and the Deadheads. Brought to our attention by South Coast underground enthusiasts Strong Island Recordings, the early outing is a laid-back guitar track, held in place by gently rolling drums. Given a sense of whimsy by distant piano tinkles and a decent helping of reverb, the lilting track rises in intensity, like a tide rushing in as Daisy explains: “The song is a break up song. I actually wrote the original version in about 10 minutes on an acoustic guitar, before the band was together. My music often references the sea. I grew up by the sea in Deal, Kent. The image of the sea on the single cover is the same beach mentioned in the song. We collaborated on the cover artwork as a band. Like a kids craft club. I found that image from a disposable camera I must have had when I was younger.” Listen here now. -Holly Mullineaux
