You're Listening to What ?

[E.N.]

I can't remember if I've ever heard of Daughter before or not, the name seems somewhat familiar, but only vaguely so

Two days ago...  😉

I then got distracted by seeing that Daughter have new music out though

Their debut album is incredible, start to finish.
Sadly their stuff since hasn't lived up to those heights, for me. New (third) album is out soon, but the singles off it didn't excite me too much

After living with the album for a while, I'm now really loving Stereo Mind Game by Daughter. It's a real slowburn but it has lovely depth to it. Very reminiscent of Sigur Ros in places, but that's a compliment. Worth a listen if you need to chill




And, if you don't need to chill, then obviously the new Enter Shikari album is awesome!
It's actually quite, well, poppy by their standards. It's pretty immediate and accessible, which I wouldn't expect to like from them but it's really working for me. It's the usual mix of solidarity and facing the realities of the world with optimism. It's simplistic, but it's so earnest I just buy into it. I'd say it'll settle as being my third favourite of their albums, and it's a very high bar
