Daughter
On her recently released EP The Wild Youth, striking North Londoner Elena Tonra meditates on grand lyrical themes encapsulated in all-encompassing song-titles such as Love, Youth and Home. The latter has drawn considerable radio airplay with its timeless melodies, but it is perhaps Love which is most outstanding of all. Touching vocals and simply plucked guitars drift over sonically ambitious atmospherics and sparse drums which grow in prominence towards a stunningly bleary and percussive crescendo. It’s an effort which singles Daughter out as far removed from your average female singer-songwriter.
