Daise, a dark and dreamy pop group from the Inland Empire, is tearing their way through the local music scene. Their newest and innovative single, “Sights Of Blue,” out today, is a haunting reflection of leaving a relationship where you are not being treated well and trying to finding happiness within you. A path we have all found ourselves walking down at one point in our life, and one that some of us still struggle, too. DeLeon’s vocals, paired with the smooth beats of Edwin Robles, Justin Barner, and Luke Johnson together bloom a tranquil and hypnotic sound to be envied by all musicians. Daise has created a powerful combination of balancing the raw emotions of heartbreak and renewal into a deep yet masterful ensemble that should be required to hear during a time of healing. Catch Daise at the Fox Tower on August 31, and at the Teragram Ballroom on September 27, as they will be opening for The Boxer Rebellion. – Kayla Hay
