London four-piece Dogviolet are back with a new single, ‘Daisy Crowns,’ and it cuts a little deeper than their past releases.

Out now, it leans into that strange, heavy feeling of looking back at being young and realising it’s gone for good.

Speaking about the single, Naz explained: “I wrote ‘Daisy Crowns’ in one evening in summer 2024 whilst caring for a loved one who was experiencing a mental health crisis. The song is about feeling burnt out and wanting to return to simpler times. I can’t go back to being a child with no responsibilities, so the chorus is me asking for help from those close to me, which is something I struggle with. I love performing Daisy Crowns live as it’s so beautiful when the audience sings with us – it embodies that feeling of being taken care of in hard times.”
Ella adds: “Daisy Crowns is the most delicate and vulnerable track we’ve recorded so far, so it was important to me that the production mirrored that fragility from the first note. We layered the main riff with a cathedral reverb against a drier take, which makes it sound so huge and atmospheric. By the final chorus – with synths, e-bow, stacked guitars and group vocals – it feels expansive but never loses its tenderness. The classical guitar at the end is one of my favourite moments on the track.”

Their writing keeps circling back to the natural world through tangled, sometimes thorny imagery that threads through songs about social pressure, family knots that don’t come undone easily, and sapphic longing, all sitting inside a sound that pulls from goth influences.
