Daughter is an English indie folk band originating from London in 2010. Originally the solo work of Elena Tonra, they are now a trio with the addition of guitarist Igor Haefeli and drummer Remi Aguilella. The band released their debut album, If You Leave, in March 2013. Charting at Number 16 in the UK, it was also received favourably in the press; “An album as beautifully conceived as If You Leave is one you follow from start to finish, riveted by the story it weaves and the emotion it bleeds.” (Source: wiki)
Q: In a similar way, descriptions like ‘haunting’, ‘ethereal’ and ‘achingly beautiful’ are mentioned a lot, but it’s difficult to describe your music any other way, do you like that praise?
A: Erm, yeah, I don’t really like reading too much [laughs] It’s really lovely when people say things like that about our music, it’s really complimentary, and it has some kind of impact, but yeah, I try not to read too much of what people say in reviews and stuff. They can completely bum you out, and then do the reverse and make you feel really wonderful, and that’s shit as well cause you get lazy and you just think you’re great [laughs] I like being very pessimistic and working hard because I never feel like I’m good enough anyway…Read full Interview with Elena Tonra at Outlineonline.com.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this.
It is! A new find…Thanks Linda.
She sounds like another one of your clips from a while back but I can’t find the one I’m thinking of. Similar sound anyway. Nice.
Oh no, I’m regurgitating styles, that’s not good. 🙂
Yes, it was a good one. Can’t have too much of a good thing, can we? At least not with music.
I agree Anneli

Thank you Bonnie
Nice…I always wanted to play in a band with a female “Frontman”….still no luck. These folks have a very pleasant sound.
There’s still time, a lot of time Ray. And yes, I find her sound to hit the right cord with me too…
