Daughter: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Рет қаралды 12,831,005
10 жыл бұрынDaughter 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 gut-punch of a line - "I want you so much, but I hate your guts" - that conjures a pitch-perfect mix of gloom, desire and hostility.
The group has since released a full-length album, this year's lovely If You Leave, but Daughter was kind enough to resuscitate "Landfill" for this stripped-down performance at the Tiny Desk. As you'll see and hear, that aforementioned gut-punch 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. --STEPHEN THOMPSON
Set List
"Youth"
"Landfill"
"Tomorrow"

Producers: Bob Boilen, Denise DeBelius, Stephen Thompson; Audio Engineer: Kevin Wait; Videographers: Parker Miles Blohm, Chloe Coleman, Denise DeBelius

I ran into Elena at a music festival a few years ago and asked for a picture together. She offered to take the photo for us and was giggling the same exact way you see in this video. Then I told her "You don't act like your music," and she went "Oh, um. Depressed...!" making a teardrops-down-my-face gesture with her fingers. I died.

I've never heard them before this, so this is my first time being exposed to them. She gives me the first impression that she has had a rough past, as many have. Being awkward and probably different from everyone she's known, never knowing where she fit. But then she found that she loses herself in her music - as you said, I get the sense that she is still that same awkward girl, never really fitting in, but that now she is ok with it, and has, in a sense, found that her "place" is not having a place. She loves her music and is at home there - she just visits us out here in the real world when she's not playing.

When i went to watch them live at Pukkelpop (Belgian Festival) a couple of years ago, they arrived 45 minutes late. Nearly half the people had already left the tent when they finally showed up. Apparently their instruments were lost on the plain to Belgium. They eventually managed to borrow some guitars from a helpful band also attending the festival, and had to improvise on the drums or something iirc. The performance was a magical and pure moment, in the middle of the heat & busyness of an 80.000 people festival. When they played Youth, which was their only well-known song at the time, Elena started to lose her voice a bit, overwhelmed by emotion, while the small crowd completely took over for her. One of the best live experiences in my life.

I cried, I can really see her sadness when she sings. The soon she sings, it's like she immediately pulls back into her memories. Of the times she was hurt, she was alone and sad. The way she looks when she says "i hate you" in landfill, and the look in her eyes around 5:00... i got very emotional. Also they are such incredibly shy people and I love that they did this performance I feel like it may took some courage of her. I saw them live and they were incredibly cute to see. Elena was so shy she couldn't look the public in the eye during the concert at all. She and (I suspect boyfriend) Igor kept making eye contact during the show and smiled cutesy to each other. It was endearing to see.

Her vocal control is just incredible... So soft but so very powerful! All while she looks like she is feeling every bit of pain she felt when she wrote the songs.

I'm speechless. This is highly personal and beautiful. I sometimes wonder how sad lyrics, sad chords, sad face - a whole negative pathos really - can make you feel good. It has nothing to do with morbidity whatsoever. It is one of my favorite types of beauty, a form of romanticism. Thanks NPR and KZfaq for broadcasting these amazing artists. You guys and KEXP are making a lot for music. Also it's nice to see some fine albums displayed on the back while listening, like Biophilia by Bjork. Hope to see more from Daughter!

I think this has to deal with the limitations of language.We use the word sad for this, but sad is, like all terms in a language, an overgeneralization. It names a wide range, an infinite range, of very complex emotions, many of which can be beautiful even while they are sad.

from landfill: "throw me in the water, don't think about the splash i will create." the way she sings it, even if that small fraction of time towards the end of the line, really sent me somewhere else and back. sublime.

The only way this could be better would be an encore of Smother! 'we are the reckless, we are the wild youth' is one of my favourite lyrics ever. The whole sentiment of the current struggles for first time buyers vs the generation with second homes; the brexit division which is often discussed as a generational divide; the unwavering obliteration of public and welfare services. Elena's (and mine) generation will be the first generation in history to be worse off than their parents; yet our generation is cast as work-shy, get told exams are easier, with tuition fees that result in huge debts and the constant burden of knowing that a huge proportion of the world's population don't have their most basic human needs met, and somehow we, the youth, need to fix it. when I hear that lyric delivered by Elena with such fragility in her voice, all of the above comes to my mind in that split second, it's astoundingly resonant and beautiful to me.

to me this Concert sounds interesting and great on KZfaq, because someone had the effort to professionally record something really minimalistic - no or very few cuts on the camera, but a great picture! as well as a mono soundtrack (only that one microphone) pushing Elena far into the foreground while sadly causing the guys to be too silent on the track, the audience's listening expreience must've been really breathtaking there as they must've had a good (stereo ;-D ) sound, always hearing loud what they concentrate on - in a really great way, probably the best daughter concert on KZfaq, although they're all extraordinarily good and their performance is per se flawless...

Todd Davis I probably will. I just watched this performance and it is quiet similar - the above fits to this one as well... I think I understand what you mean with that intimate experience, I've been on some performances with very few people around them, they let you recognise the finest detail! But that is the bad thing about that there are too few microphones, in this video the sounds from the drumkit were details, but they should be strong and clear imho, usually only things like small flaws make those details I mean, but when the sound isn't the right way - which it in both cases imho is - it is not quiet the intimate experience you talk about, it's more like a distorted experience...

Since discovering Neil Young and his big music catalogue over 25 years ago, I haven't been as excited hearing of a new band like Daughter about 2 years ago. I discovered them while searching for similar bands like Wildes, with "Bare" being my favorite song of theirs. The music of Daughter matches my soul frequency. If it was made of glass it would break. It feels like their music is made just for me. Amazing and beautiful arrangements in its simplicity and with a deep sensitivity. Great lyrics and voice. Very special for me. It's the pauses and single notes and words that matter. They've perfected it and I'm very glad I've discovered them. Too bad they put out only so few albums.
