Say what you will, but Daphne Eckman is incredibly honest in her latest single. Recounting a failed romantic experience where she felt wronged, the Annapolis-based songstress delves into a cheerful and flirtatious lyrical take on such events, not being afraid to explore her fragility and dive into introspective territories.
A record that we are confident will connect with a large audience, ‘jackson pollock’ is built over slick and modern indie-pop, graced by light guitars and punchy drums, perfectly fitting the modern landscape of youth acts boasting a rebellious and unapologetic character.
Gearing up for an upcoming long-length release, expected later this year, Daphne Eckman looks set for a glorious career. Active since 2021, the young talent has been unveiling a plethora of singles over the years, enduring a slow but steady evolution through her sonic identity and lyrical references.
From earlier folky, country-flavoured numbers such as ‘iris’, or the acoustic-driven single ‘another year’, the project seems to have now found a fitting home, with ‘jackson pollock’ being the perfect fresh indie fit for Eckman’s elegant, light and relatable vocals.
Describing the inspiration behind the song, Daphne explains: “a playful, tongue-in-cheek anthem saying all of the things one is afraid to say to the lover who’s wronged them. This song is a healthy way to have a tantrum and gives you permission to scream and shout and be mean!”
