Another serene delight from Arlington-based act Flemish in the North, “Daisy” weaves caressing guitar twangs and dreamy vocals amidst a calming synth-touched soundscape. An emotive vocal reflection emerges prior to the second minute. “Break me into pieces,” they let out, with the chilling backing textures cohesively guiding into sharp-cutting guitar infusions. The tender guitar work and overall atmospherics converge beautifully for a blissful finale.
The project also impressed with preceding singles “Snow Crocs” and “Jonathan Ames.” The former’s jazzy percussive hints and the latter’s folk-minded direction showed well, as does the jangly and lush contemplative pull of “Daisy.” This trio of tracks show Flemish in the North as having ample tonal versatility, with a shared knack for intriguing melodic constructions. I’m looking forward to whatever’s next.
