With a series of single releases spanning back to 2021, their opinionated lyrics and playful instrumentals have established them as ones to watch. At the start of this month they dropped ‘Nearly Daffodils’ giving us a glimpse at their debut album which is hopefully imminent. 

Their previous release ‘Song About Love’ is still one of the best songs from 2023 in my opinion and ‘Nearly Daffodils’ continues on the theme of complicated relationships that don’t pan out as you may have hoped. 

On Instagram the band describes the song as “about heartbreak and acceptance of unfulfilled potential. How, no matter how much you may want something, no matter how much effort you may put into something’s growth or development, no matter how beautiful you can envision its fruition; life is a bitch and about as unstoppable as a freight train.” 

The verses feature a regular, repetitive beat that compliments Fontaine’s spoken word lyrics that are occasionally broken up with bursts of emotion. Her voice becomes desperate and panicked as she ends the first verse with “there is a reason the first nine months doesn’t count”. It’s a song about heartbreak but also acceptance that sometimes things just will not work. 

You can catch them touring the UK this month and stay on the lookout for their debut album soon.  In the band’s last release ‘The World’s Biggest Paving Slab’, Fontaine describes herself as “the world’s smallest celebrity”. Let’s see how long that lasts.
