Like much of the album, it’s pretty and it instills yearning and existential anxiety. Only three of the album’s ten tracks are in a major key one of them, the presumed lead single “ How,” sounds like a slightly dreamier later- Kings of Leon track. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, that’s just what they do. The rest of the album does little to step outside of the mope train, though, so it only fits that one mood. ![]() Call your significant other or your mom immediately after listening. “Alone…” is just as catchy as it is dark, Tonra’s voice reminding slightly of Bjork as she hits higher registers. The “I should get a dog or something” line adds a bit of extra realism, too. As the track observes, you can get there through unsatisfying friendships, a soured romantic entanglement, your own inability to enjoy healthy interactions, or garden-variety isolation. She utilizes the ‘repeat a motif with slight tweaks the second time’ tactic to great effect, and it’s haunting to say the least: Įveryone has felt this way at some point. Both of these are best exemplified by the aforementioned stunner, “ Alone / With You.” Clearly the album’s best track, it’s an examination in loneliness, particularly in situations where one should feel fulfilled socially or intimately. Meanwhile Lyricist Elena Tonra’s able to give your psyche the shakes with her words. It does a very good job of sleepily communicating 20-something dread, largely because it doesn’t dive too deeply into sonic clichés of that style. It’s still quite depressing, bordering on overwrought, but it’s a step up from their older material and maybe for the genre as a whole. It’s got all the hallmarks of electronic-leaning indie rock: stark, filtered synths, drums with delay, plenty of reverb, shoegaze swells galore, etc. That said, Not to Disappear is a solid album, boasting one very killer standout. So, take my biased review with a grain of salt. Plus, their singles just didn’t seem to really warrant the hype. Lord until the sun goes down, 'till it goes down.When Daughter exploded onto the indie world’s radar a couple years ago, I hated them by default - their rising star eclipsed my similarly-named noise metal obsession in Google-ability. ![]() It's all night pourin', pourin', pourin', Ran into a rainstorm, I ducked back into Novato. That's why if you please, I am on my bendin knees, Heard a voice al callin', Lord you was commin' after me.

Run around the corner, corner, Lord run smack in to a tree. I had a run in, run around, and run down. I was all night running, running, Lord I wonder if you care, I had a hard run, runnin' from your window.

This space is getting hot, you know this space is getting hot. There are things you can replace, and others you cannot. Gonna want a bed to lay your head and a little sympathy.
