Daughter: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Daughter first popped up on our radar when we heard the London band s song Landfill while preparing for SXSW early last year: Achingly pretty and melancholy, the track builds to an absolute gutpunch of a line I want you so much, but I hate your guts that conjures a pitchperfect mix of gloom, desire and hostility. The group has since released a fulllength album, this year s lovely If You Leave, but Daughter was kind enough to resuscitate Landfill for this strippeddown performance at the Tiny Desk. As you ll see and hear, that aforementioned gutpunch is a recurring specialty for the band: In all three of these sad, searing songs, singer Elena Tonra showcases a remarkable gift for coolly but approachably dishing out weary words that resonate and devastate.
