Elena Tonra always sounds heartbroken. On this typically emotional cut, she’s begging “I feel numb, make me better,” as a relationship goes up in flames. Daughter is an amazing band – one of the best out there and the the song Daughter is living proof. I detect a little of The XX – and that is a good thing – a very good thing.Starting life in 2010 as an outlet for the musings of Elena and Igor, then fellow class-mates studying music in college, they soon gained attention with their self-released four-track EP, His Young Heart, in April 2011, and the Communion Records sanctioned The Wild Youth EP, which followed that October (around the same time as Remi joined the band). On the strength of those two releases alone and impressive early live shows, the now trio quickly gained a loyal fan base, one which continues to grow daily, and record deals with both 4AD and Glassnote (for North America). Their gestation was completed with a stunning performance of their now anthem ‘Youth’ on the prestigious The Late Show with David Letterman, a rare feat for a young, European band.
The new album “Not To Disappear” will be out soon.
