Adelaide's Sunsick Daisy Take Us Track-By-Track Through Their New EP ‘Yonder'
It's been a busy year for Adelaide indie dreamers Sunsick Daisy. They've supported UK rock veterans Feeder and American slackers The Lemonheads, they've embarked on their own national tour and picked up airplay from both triple j locally and KEXP over in the US. Today (May 30th), the four-piece are sharing their second EP, Yonder. Recorded with Jared Nettle in their native Adelaide, the five-track effort sees the band enter what they're describing as 'a new era'. You can judge for yourself by streaming the EP in full below, along with insights on each of its songs directly from the band themselves, exclusively for Music Feeds. 'Hideaway' marks the beginning of a new era for us. The chorus lyrics were written around a quote that Sarah [Grainger, lead vocalist] had written down in their notes, and the rest of the song grew from there. At its core, it's about finding a safe place in the people you love to grow and change at your own pace, and know that whoever you are, you're loved. Determined to take a new song into rehearsal, Kane [Gabbell, guitar] came up with a bouncy guitar intro, over which Sarah wove in a vocal melody, and guitar countermelodies developed from there to create this lush soundscape. This is a song about loss. While the lyrics stemmed from the loss of Sarah's childhood pet, it's equally applicable to anyone dealing with grief or regret. It's simultaneously sad, angry, defeated, and cathartic in its delivery, with hard-hitting choruses and wailing guitar lines. The reflective verses and angry outbursts of the chorus are matched lyrically and musically, so you're carried by the dynamics. 'It'll Be Alright' was born from anxiety, and a desire for a pick-me-up in song form. The writing process was therapeutic, and the simple repetition of the chorus serves as a mantra to ease your worries. Kane was inspired one night to write an easily accessible, upbeat song to help him express ways of dealing with anxiety through the support of others. Wrapped in the band's signature hazy wall of sound, 'It'll Be Alright' acts as a warm, comforting hug from a friend you haven't seen in forever – arriving just when you need it the most. This was one of those spontaneous songs that came together really quickly. When Kane wrote the chords, we felt it had a disappointed-angry vibe, so we asked ourselves: 'What makes you mad?' 'Bite My Tongue' is a spit in the eye of anyone who gaslights you. 'Yonder, Young Wonder' is a moving, almost orchestral arrangement of grinding guitars and vocal harmonies. The song carries you along a journey of reflection, as you dive deeper into the need to let go of the past and be in the moment to allow space for the future. Yonder .

Moss overtaking lawns is down to one common mistake gardeners make
Many Brits are currently getting their gardens summer-ready but one expert has warned that a common garden mistake could be encouraging moss to take over your lawn If you're battling a garden full of slippery moss, your efforts to fix the problem might be backfiring. Green-fingered Brits are already hard at work sprucing up their gardens in anticipation of summer. It's the perfect time to pressure wash those patio slabs, give the grass a trim, and relax with a beer as your flowers begin to flourish. With the sun peeking through more frequently, many are diligently watering their lawns to prevent them from parching. Yet, a gardening guru has sounded the alarm over a widespread blunder that could be inviting moss to overrun your green space. Chris Mcllroy from The Grass People points out that moss thrives in damp, shadowy spots and can signal inadequate drainage – hardly surprising after typically messy winter weather and spring showers. "Moss loves moisture, so water your lawn with care and avoid flooding the lawn," Chris advises. "Avoid watering your lawn at night as it is cooler, and the moisture may sit on the soil. If your lawn is naturally moist, you should regularly aerate it." For those who've been cautious with their watering but still find themselves with a lawn besieged by moss, there's no need to fret. Garden buffs are buzzing about a 'brilliant' trick that promises to banish the troublesome moss without the need for laborious raking. A member of the Gardening UK Facebook group sought advice for eradicating moss from their lawn, and one particular recommendation stood out. "Richard Jacksons do one that is brilliant," a fellow green-fingered enthusiast suggested. "Quickly after I used it the moss disappeared from my lawn." Another chimed in with praise: "I used Richard Jacksons moss killer. It's great and does the job with no need to rake." The acclaimed Richard Jackson Flower Power Moss Remover and Lawn Feeder is available for £24.99 on Amazon. While not cheap, a single 5kg bag has enough strength to treat around 100 square metres of turf. This much-lauded product attacks moss by 'overfeeding' it, leading to its death and transformation to black within 20 days. But what sets it apart from other moss killers is a specialised bacteria that digests the dead moss as grass growth ensues, doing away with the chore of raking.

Something for the Weekend: Adam Matthews' cultural picks
Adam Matthews is the vocalist with rising Dublin pop electro duo Phoeno, who have just released their latest single, Safety. The band's name comes from Dublin's iconic Phoenix Park. Adam and long-term musical collaborators Liam Corbett took to taking long runs together during the many Covid lockdowns - on these epic treks, they'd talk sounds, lyrics, themes... and thus Phoeno was born. We asked Adam for his choice cultural picks... FILM A recent film that blew me away and also stuck with me was Smile 2 (I also love the first one ) – but this film had everything, The director's choices have such a presence throughout the film – the set pieces are amazing and the film is carried expertly by Naomi Scott. The film follows an uber famous pop star, Skye Riley, so not only do we get the horror aspect of her being tormented by this freaky entity, we also get proper moments of original music - some staged for concert and also raw acoustic piano moments. They also released an EP on streamers to accompany the film! MUSIC I still have a CD player in my car so I make a habit of buying old albums in charity shops (when I say old I mean from the 2000's – albums I loved when they came out). The current album on rotation in my car is Feeder's Pushing the Senses – the production is so great and the lyrics never stop hitting me. Standout moment is Morning Life. More recently, Nerina Pallot's A Psalm for Emily Salvi is an ear feast. BOOK I won't even lie here – I love slasher movies and in a bid to beat the film adaptation release next week, I'm currently reading Clown in a Cornfield – fun and summery vibes! I can confirm the book delivers on its title, there is in fact a killer clown in a cornfield. THEATRE Thisispopbaby's variety extravaganza RIOT is back in Vicar Street this July (17th – 20th) - I am in this show with many stunning performers and a very good time is guaranteed! Tixckets are on sale as we speak! TV Dying for Sex on Hulu/ Disney Plus - I just finished watching this. It's a one season series and I have no idea why I don't hear people talking about it – you get some of the best acting from leads Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate, the directing is exquisite and the cinematography is gorgeous. You can really feel its authentic New York setting. GIG Phoeno are headlining The Workman's Cellar in Dublin on the 25th of this month – the only gig you need to hear about! ART I'm kinda fanatical about instant photography – I love taking photographs and love polaroid portraits, so I try to follow as many instant photographers as possible on Instagram. I'm learning how other people are working with polaroid and instax. PODCAST The Louis Theroux Podcast never fails to deliver and never disappoints - I loved listening to his recent chat with the always iconic Sharon Horgan. TECH A digital camera called Flashback – I supported it on Kickstarter. It basically works like a disposable camera; you unload your 'roll' of film to the app on your phone and after 24 hours you get an alert to say your roll of film is ready to view. The photos looks incredibly similar to the ones a real 35mm camera would give you. THE NEXT BIG THING... We're in a golden age for Irish music and Irish art. Our culture is the next big thing, and we want Phoeno to be front and centre in that cultural wave.
