Untitled

Daisy is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Brand New, scheduled to be released through Interscope Records on September 22, 2009.[2][3][4]

The album's first single was "At the Bottom", released at the beginning of August 2009. The band will tour the United States in support of the album in late 2009.

Production

In an interview with Kerrang!, Jesse Lacey commented on the upcoming album's content: "It's a pretty exhausting record. It's quite dense and I think some of the decisions we made don't always go in the most obvious direction. We were thinking a lot more about what we'd want to play when we were up onstage rather than actually what you'd want to hear on a record."[5]

Release and promotion

"When you're young and you start a band you think you'll record and go onstage and that's all there is, then suddenly someone wants to take your picture and ask your opinion on things, and you're excited, you're being paid attention to and you jump at that, looking back at it you realise it has nothing to do with why you started the band in the first place"

Jesse Lacey in Rock Sound magazine[6]

Brand New band revealed in an interview with United Kingdom-based music magazine Rock Sound that they would not be talking or promoting Daisy with any American media outlets. They also said they would be dealing with very few outlets internationally.[citation needed] On July 8, 2009 it was reported that the band had named their new album And One Head Can Never Die and that it would be released on September 21[7], not long after, the band announced that the album title had been changed to Daisy.[8] The release of "At the Bottom" as the album's first single was also announced.[9]

Spin magazine's website announced the track listing and displayed the album art for Daisy in August 2009.[10] The first single from the renamed fourth studio album would be released as a digital download on August 11 2009, without a music video to accompany the release. The album was mixed by Dave Sardy with production by Mike Sapone.[11][12][13]

In June 2009, UK music magazine Rock Sound claimed on their website that they had received a copy of the upcoming album, though it was, according to an image later posted by the editor, "incomplete."[14] The site published a "tentative" track listing and reported the incomplete version that they had received to be roughly 30 minutes long.[15][16]

On June 28, 2009, the band appeared at Glastonbury Festival on the Other Stage, they previewed "Bought a Bride" and "Gasoline". These songs were also previewed at the Reading and Leeds Festivals - with the performances being filmed by the BBC. The band however refused the BBC rights of use, denying the broadcasting of their live performance.[6][17]

Lacey told Rock Sound, that in regard to touring to promote Daisy; "I think we want to be at home more than ever before", with Vinnie Accardi adding "We have become less ambitous about touring". Despite this, the band will perform a single headlining date at Wembley Arena, in January 2010. It will be their largest UK headline appearance to date.[18][19] To coincide with the release of Daisy, the band embarked on a 34 date tour across the United States throughout all of October and November 2009. The tour will also feature Thrice, Manchester Orchestra and Glassjaw.[20][21]

Reception

Andrew Kelham of Rock Sound praised the record highly "Its the kind of record that could - if promoted well - could be heralded as a standard bearer, a watershed moment or maybe even a classic". Scott Heisel of Alternative Press was slightly disappointed, stating; "it's entirely possible that the band simply wrote a good album this time around, not a great one".[1]
