daresay draws on a lineage of open, literate indie songwriting with touchstones like Death Cab for Cutie, Modest Mouse and The Dismemberment Plan alongside the lyrical directness of Frightened Rabbit.

Small town living and fractured identities haven't really resolved with time. Having come through young adulthood, those same tensions settle into a shared sense of melancholy, forming the backbone of daresay's debut, self-titled EP.

Featuring their debut single 'featherweight', which explores the disorientation of rebuilding a sense of self after losing the frameworks that once gave it shape. 'featherweight' reflects on identity as something formed, undone and reassembled through influence, doubt and distance. It sits with uncertainty rather than resolving it.

daresay have always been in each other's lives, collaborating on projects throughout their teens and early twenties. The trials and tribulations of band-life led to each member breaking out, pushing themselves to the startline. Frontman George writes with a cathartic honesty, collaborating with his bandmate and wife Aoibhin as he explores themes of fragility, failure and the cyclical nature of life, grounded by a sense of weight and restraint.

daresay's debut EP is out this summer through Hit The North Records
