Nuclear Daisies is made up of Austin players Rob Glynn (ex Temple of Angels), Alex Gehring (Ringo Deathstarr) and Robby Williams. Together, the three created a record that is, literally and figuratively, an eye-opening, DMT-soaked view at a world in chaos – not to mention a new vision for ’90’s alternative and big beat for the next generation. First Taste of Heaven will be released Aug. 1 via Portrayal of Guilt Records. The lead single, “Infinite Joy,” is out today.
First Taste of Heaven is about life in all its glory and shroud – a post-apocalyptic journey through celebration, love, heartache, pain, acceptance and finally transcendence – physical, spiritual, and even supernatural. And though the creation of the record was based on personal trials and tribulations, it also offered escapism from that same harsh reality in the form of catharsis and healing.
“Infinite Joy,” available today, announces itself with the snap and the thump of a breakbeat and a snarling bassline, starkly contrasting from Gehring’s breathy, seductive vocals which drive the track. The juxtaposition adds drama to pensive lyrics that mine the dredges of mental health and the road to recovery. “The lyrics perfectly express the depths of depression and the hopelessness that someone can feel to claw their way out of it,” admits Gehring.
