Demi the Daredevil
Demi the Daredevil
Hopeful and bizarre, elegant yet grotesque, Demi the Daredevil is able to synthesize a variety of influences into something special, modern. Melodies and instrumentation inspired by jazz and musical scores, and classical tradition (anyone from Elfman to Beethoven to Grusin), lyrics resembling crippled romantic poets like Tom Waits and Billie Joe Armstrong, Prince-like syncopated rhythms, Queen’s guitar-piano chamber dialogue, and character impersonations that you might hear in a dramatized audio book. Every song is a breathe of originality and true musicality.
