Jazz & Surreal Pain

Musician and songwriter Daphne Parker Powell presents the single “Scorched Earth & the Flood,” a track that explores the inescapable nature of love, even when it hurts, and how we navigate our own hearts as if they were a house filled with rooms, memories, and emotional maps. “Scorched Earth & the Flood” reflects on what we are willing to tolerate, what we learn over time, and how, even so, we continue to love.

Their sound encompasses jazz, alternative folk,  southern gothic  , and a cinematic sensibility, with rich and organic arrangements. The listener can identify with this process of inner reconstruction, where pain is not denied, but transformed into movement and clarity.

Daphne Parker Powell is a New Orleans-based singer-songwriter known for her literary writing, intense stage presence, and work that balances humor, vulnerability, and determination. The Death of Cool represents her most ambitious artistic statement to date: an album that questions cultural mythologies while celebrating sincerity, connection, and emotional resilience, all wrapped in a Southern, nocturnal, and deeply human spirit.
