Daughter - "Youth" (Live from St Giles in the Fields Church)



Stripped-down folk gets gloomy with Daughter, the North London band comprised of singer Elena Tonra and her boyfriend Igor Haefeli on guitar. They might be young- both are in their early twenties- but the lyrics in their newest single reveal years of raw life experience. ("And if you're still bleeding, you're the lucky ones/'cause most of our feelings, they're dead and gone."). With her pillowy soft vocals, Tonra reminds us of a broody mix between Cat Power, Feist, and Lucy Rose, and clearly we're not the only ones obsessed. The song has been drifting about online for a few months now, but a recent appearance on U.K.'s Skins has upped the audience and now it's a bonafide hit. "Stereogum"
