London-based trio Daughter<\/a> are on a sold-out UK and European tour and are about to unleash their debut LP ‘If You Leave’ in March. Wonderland <\/em>caught up with frontwoman Elena to talk tour goss, tears and their beautifully brooding avant-garde take on\u00a0acoustic folk.<\/p>\n

\"Daughter\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Congratulations on the sold-out tour! How are the shows going to differ from the festivals that you’ve played?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’re playing at lots of churches and we really enjoy it, I think it’s our thing. The atmosphere is always slightly gloomy in a good way. We’re so overwhelmed at the reaction that the tour has had. It’s pretty mindblowing. I was quite worried about it but it’s going be great – even though I’m going be so so nervous.<\/p>\n

How did you meet your bandmates Remi and Igor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was in the same class at college as Igor and Remi was studying drums. I was doing solo stuff before I met the boys and I felt almost restricted in my musical ability. I asked Igor to help me out for a few of my solo shows and when we jammed together we came up with all of these ideas. After the first EP, Remi came on-board and that’s how Daughter were born.<\/p>\n

Do you write the songs as a collective unit, or individually?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I do all of the lyrics and if I’m honest I haven’t ever tried writing with anyone else. Some of the lyrics i’ve written I never thought that anyone else would hear them.<\/p>\n
