Listen: Daughter - Smother

Daughter write hauntingly-honest songs of realized sadness which land so close to the heart they leave a chilling awe alongside a lingering sadness that is as real and true as art can get, “Smother” does nothing but solidify these already known tangents of their music.

To say that “Smother” invokes feeling would be a tragic understatement, the wave of realism embodied in this rare moment of self-evaluation is omnipotent; this is where goodbye appears inevitable drawing out that duality of love as an emotion vs. love as honest realism magnifying the true differences between what we want and what we truly need, the unfortunate fact that someone we care about falls on the negative side of the pros/cons list concerning our future is devastating yet necessary.

If there’s one thing which keeps me continually impressed by Daughter it would be how true and unwavering their lyrics are with so much lush and captivating creativity floating through the ether, “Smother” is the first time where the juxtaposition of lyric simplicity with intelligent song strength have come face to face as equals, this song may very well be their greatest achievement thus far.
