Deep, resonant vocals meeting psychedelic folk drones. It sounds like a ritual performed in a sea cave, ancient and unhurried. Perfect for solitary forest walks.

Intro

Daisy Rickman is a multi-disciplinary artist from Mousehole, Cornwall, whose musical output is deeply intertwined with her work in visual arts and film. Emerging as a significant voice in the contemporary 'weird folk' or psych-folk revival, her sound identity is defined by her exceptionally deep vocal range and a self-taught, multi-instrumental approach.

Her work often incorporates the Cornish language and folklore, positioning her alongside artists like Shovel Dance Collective in a movement that seeks to re-enchant traditional music through a modern, often experimental lens. Her career arc shows a rapid evolution from the intimate, lo-fi explorations of 'Donsya A’n Loryow' to the more expansive, high-fidelity psychedelia of 'Howl'. Critical consensus highlights her ability to channel the spirit of 1970s acid-folk (think Mark Fry or Anne Briggs) without falling into mere pastiche. Her music serves as a bridge between the British folk revival and the drone-based experiments of contemporary psych-rock, making her a vital figure in the modern pastoral underground.
