The style of Daria Purley is known for its ability to fuse genres. Daria’s desire for versatility is a result of her first being a songwriter, and her second being a performer. She recorded Trenchcoat Season just two days before studios closed down in 2020 — she recorded a whopping 12 tracks at Velveteen Studios, an Edmonton studio that engages over 10 June nominated artists.

A sultry jazz-pop track, Trenchcoat Season tells the story of a stormy relationship through powerful vocals. As a fashion enthusiast, Daria also appreciates a song named after a garment, and so the song is close to her heart.

A song like this doesn’t follow a traditional song structure or follow a traditional tempo — it’s not only a genre-bender, it follows a 3/4 beat tempo, as well, we can say it’s avant-garde and push the boundaries of indie-pop music.

Despite that, the song tells a much too relatable love story that is extremely catchy and we are sure any audience can relate to. Now let’s give her our support, listen to her songs, and don’t forget to follow the artist on Spotify.
