Davey's Daughter

Romeo’s Daughter is thrilled to announce the release of 6th studio album "Slipstream". It is an album filled with songs that are synonymous with the RD sound that you know and love with a few surprises along the way! It has been made with love and the deep respect we have for our wonderful fans and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did making it!

Anyone's Daughter made its name on the European scene in the late '70s and '80s with a series of intelligent prog rock albums that drew comparisons to Pink Floyd and Triumvirat. After an extended hiatus, the band returned in 2000 and has made three new albums since, the second of which is this musically impressive (if lyrically awkward) effort. The band seamlessly incorporates elements of electronic percussion into tracks like "The Wrong" and "Your Time," while "Helios Reloaded" opens with some good old-fashioned Bach & roll neo-classicism and "Fade Out" brings in a subtle Latin influence. But throughout the album, center stage is occupied by big-voiced singer André Carswell, who is unfortunately saddled with cringe-inducing lyrics along the lines of "Looking up instead of always down turns a frown into a smile" and "There's a star in the sky/That will never say die." In strictly musical terms, this album is not bad at all…

Given its beginnings as Elena Tonra's solo project, it would be easy to assume that Daughter is just another singer/songwriter act with a couple of supporting musicians. However, over the course of If You Leave, Tonra, guitarist Igor Haefeli, and drummer Remi Aguilella make it clear that this is the work of a band. Together, they swing between moments of close-up intimacy and widescreen majesty, often during the course of one song. These songs have so many ebbs and flows that they're practically tidal: "Lifeforms" swells from spiraling guitars that recall the xx in their moody simplicity into towering rock that makes the most of Haefeli's amps and Aguilella's kit.
