Meet Daughter, the young four member group hailing from the UK. Built around the vocal talents of Elena Tonra, the group released two EPs in 2011 including The Wild Youth. A quick look at their Bandcamp helps me notice their use of the Omnichord, and considering my favorite band My Morning Jacket is the only other group I know to use the instrument, I am immediately engaged. They have a dark, moody sound reminiscent to that of the xx and soothing vibes from their guitar work gives a similar feeling to that of Jose Gonzalez. On "Youth" (see below), Tonra's voice is very close to that of Regina Spektor's and the tranquil guitar work backed with a soft percussion perfectly accentuates her vocals. The whole EP is pretty in every way and certainly worth a download.
