Album Review: Daughter - Not To Disappear

On the London band's follow-up to their wistful debut album, they retain the moodiness but become more cynical in tone and ferocious in sound.

They are growing up. After a bit of a sullen start it becomes a stormy affair of shimmering guitar and fleeting echoes. Standout How is yearning shoegaze. The chilly Alone / With You includes frontwoman Elana Torna's brilliantly blunt line: "I hate living with you/I should get a dog or something." Fossa is pulsing and expansive. Amid the beautiful noise though, it is the small, quiet moments that make Daughter something special.
