Today, Montreal-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Ouri announces her new album Daisy Cutter due October 24, 2025. Alongside the announcement Ouri shares an early taste of all that’s to come with the title track of the record. Throughout Daisy Cutter, Ouri builds a world out of a radical experimentation with desire, discipline, and intimacy. What began as a practice of letting everything flow without judgment grew into a study of freedom’s contradictions: the pull between safety and risk, commitment and release, control and surrender. 

The album’s title, Daisy Cutter, carries this duality. Borrowed from a bomb, devastating and absolute, it also evokes the delicate act of trimming a flower. Ouri keeps both in play, moving between sweeping force and precise gestures. Out of this tension arises music that feels both intimate and insurgent. Speaking about how the album came into being Ouri notes, “All these trusting miles in the dark led me to these 13 songs. Daisy Cutter is music but it’s also the leader of a militia, a part of me. Like a rotor, I started a practice that brought all this album to life and it’s gonna keep spinning even when I let go of the wheel.”

Ouri engineers, mixes, and masters everything herself, shaping tactile and often nocturnal sounds that shift just as they seem to settle. Across the album Ouri places herself within a community that feels at once real and imagined. Around her, friends and collaborators assemble as comrades, an underground militia intent on cultivating a future sound. Longtime allies including Mobilegirl, Oli XL, Bby Eco, Charlotte Day Wilson, Bamo Yendé, Cecil Believe, Duncan Hood, Jonah Yano, Sea Oleena and Cowboy Lansky join Ouri across the album, their contributions recorded in borrowed spaces, apartments, and other non-studio settings, exploring various ways of being in the world that allow for the contradictions of fortification and desire.

Daisy Cutter follows Ouri’s highly praised debut album Frame of a Fauna, which was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize, as well as her collaborative project Jour 1596 with Helena Deland as Hildegard, that The FADER described as, “A blessed union of avant-garde R&B saints.” Since the release of her debut album Ouri has toured across North America with celebrated artists including Yaeji, Tirzah, Charlotte Day Wilson and Smerz.

OURI SHARES NEW SINGLE, “BEHAVE !”, FEAT. CHARLOTTE DAY WILSON

From her classical beginnings in harp, cello, and piano to her immersion in Montreal’s underground electronic scene, Ouri has shaped a sound that moves with finesse, poise, and power. Her music carries the intimacy of something hand-carved, yet unfolds with the confidence of an artist unafraid to experiment. 

Ouri describes her process as creating through “secret neural pathways,” chasing “the sudden sensorial intensity of that state”. She speaks of textures that are “raw/sharp but soft,” tracing themes of resistance, belonging, and desire. On tour with Charlotte Day Wilson, the two developed an unspoken musical language—“two women freely jumping from one idea to the next”—a trust that would later anchor their collaboration, the new single, “Behave !”. 

"In the middle of last year, after a few months of touring together, I played Charlotte a couple demos I had been working on,” says Ouri. “I had been spending more time creating loops of voice and harp that I kept raw, unfiltered, sharpening the contours of my presence. The song starts to shape up instinctually, like a kid that is being ordered to stay in one place but the young mind starts to wander and soon enough, the body follows. We ended up toying with this classic R’nB feel but kept it confrontational in the approach, leaning towards this hyperreal sense that surrounds my world."

PRAISE FOR OURI

“Montreal singer and composer Ouri ventures out of the dreamy electronic music she is known for to create a breathtaking string-driven piece that's equal parts Björk, Phillip Glass, and 90s R&B.” - FADER

“On ‘blueprints of us’ and ‘tame me,’ she reveals a more raw, perhaps somehow even more vulnerable voice that is rooted in electronic melodies that are both minimalist, experimental, ethereal, and at times, strange.” - BILLBOARD

“Montreal-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Ouri consistently churns out magnetizing work.” - FLOOD

"expertly guides listeners through a narrative of anticipation, climax and release" - Office Magazine

"equal parts comforting and transcendent" - V Magazine

“Ambient pop and rich, hot-blooded techno interrogate the way experiences of emigration and falling in love reshape identity over time.” - PITCHFORK

“She dials in swooping sounds, echoey vocal syllables, a glitchy beat, tentative chords; the dance beat solidifies, falls away and reappears, briefly locking into syncopation with wordless vocal syncopations before evaporating.” - NEW YORK TIMES

Today, Montreal-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Ouri shares a new single “Quiet Drumming” featuring Japanese Canadian musician and frequent BadBadNotGood collaborator Jonah Yano. The new single showcases Ouri and Jonah’s stunning vocals weaving seamlessly amidst an expansive sonic landscape. Ouri shares about the process of working together, “When I had an afternoon with Jonah in my studio last summer, I knew that the music we made couldn’t feel like fiction, it had to feel like a documentary of that moment. We naturally went for an epic longing, his beautiful folk touch and my explosive production met in the middle.”

The new single follows her previous track “Baby Has A Frown” which pulled from her background as a cellist, harpist and lover of reimagined dance music. Ouri recently wrapped her North American tour with fellow Canadian artist Charlotte Day Wilson as well as her dates with Patrick Watson across Europe. The new singles come after her highly praised debut album Frame of a Fauna was shortlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and follows her bt002: self-hypnosis tape and joint project with Helena Deland titled Hildegard, which Pitchfork hailed as, "pure creative symbiosis." Since the release of her debut album, Ouri has also toured across North America with celebrated artists including Yaeji, Tirzah and Smerz.
