Cheryl Waters is a fucking legend

[@NovaWebPlus]

She always has relevant, unique and honest questions...Much respect to Cheryl and the bands invited.

[@virginier-f5982]

She's the best

[@coachomri5468]

I hate the host shes fuckin annoting with the kexp in every two seconds daughter is great tho lemme enjoy the music

[@xos]

One of those rare bands that always sounds way better live than on their album.

[@McTee08]

Ben Howard, Daughter.....two prime examples

[@ogt1218]

HÆLOS

[@xos]

Oscar Gómez Torres Very true, couldn't agree more.

[@ogt1218]

Saw their KEXP performance and found it extremely good...quickly went and listened to their album on spotify and, while I was not disappointed, it was just not the same.

[@xos]

Did the exact same thing for me. The album's grown on me since, but I often still just go back and watch that session instead of listen to the album.

[@blueroninstudios]

Daughter is like a warm blanket of beautiful you wrap yourself up in at the end of a long day with a cup of steamy tea.

[@marinaniemeyer6362]

That is the best definition i have ever seen of daughter haha 💜

[@blueroninstudios]

+Grant Dyce from who or what?

[@grantdyce5904]

my bad i was wrong

[@grantdyce5904]

yeah 5 days AFTER your comment someone stole it

[@humblesheep]

+Jared she makes me cry.. not feeling your feels at all. I love love love her. Beautiful. It's very sad and heartbroken.

[@janecme]

The other amazing lady in the studio is the presenter. I've seen her interview a few bands and she always asks intelligent questions that provoke insightful replies from musicians, used to be guarded in what they say. KEXP gives musicians the space not just to perform, but to expand our understanding and appreciation of the music we love and for that I am hugely grateful. Daughter have always been an amazing band but thanks to KEXP I know feel I know them a bit better x

[@wandareserve7616]

+Jane C i called kexp from n.c. and told them how special cheryl is. i'm thinking of asking her to leave her partner and have my love-child.

[@Kamboshin]

Every KEXP clip I've seen here on KZbin has been incredible in terms of production, video and sound quality and atmosphere, aside from the bands (Ibeyi, Daughter, La Luz, Warpaint). They're incredible.

[@benjaminwalkenhorst9670]

I feel like Sheryl Waters really loves her job. I envy her a little.

[@anindyar05]

Hope they will publish their KEXP performance as album..... It's a musical treat for everyone....

[@CarolinaMA1995]

+Anindya Rakshit YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[@anindyar05]

+Carolina Arruda 😊👍

[@blackhawkX02]

Awww she's so shy and cute n_n

[@newwavedaveultimate80s98]

KEXP's sound production on these shows is amazing. Big ups to the engineers. For whatever reason bands seem to sound better there than anywhere else. Daughter is a case in point. London Grammar is another.

[@emmanueloluga9770]

exactly this guy gets it

[@frankc5819]

I would just agree they are better because they are artists from the U.K.

[@gavrilogabo]

Have to agree. sound engineers damn nailed it

[@alliedarky]

I know, I can feel it in my bones!

[@benjaminmitchell5345]

@David Abrass you are spot on. So much of what's on you tube just sounds substandard compared to this studio.

[@AndreasFilms]

Her voice touches a part of my soul I never knew existed.

[@screwhalunderhill885]

she makes me wanna kill myself less

[@LiberTBo]

I think you copied some of my comments from the Clastonbury Festival 2016?

[@RichardWHardwick]

Sir, that is the best quote I have read for a long time - respect !

[@viktoriagr.7416]

I thought about my emotions when listening to her, and you're comment just described everything I really feel. thanks mate

[@LiberTBo]

You must continually update your soul, it wanders all over the place when you have the smell of quim in your nostrils...

[@caittompkins3456]

that host has the best job in the world

[@bonniefiona7943]

She is wonderful and most likely a volunteer even better ya?

[@osidiusemphatic3505]

Cheryl Waters is the best. If you read this and want to see her at her best, watch the video of War on Drug's first appearance. She's trying so hard to stay professional because she loves them so much, and Adam keeps teasing her by responding "Thanks, Cheryl". It's one of those rare interactions that remind you how wonderful people can be.

[@juliantupas106]

Honestly? The "sad band" is a refreshing change from all the popular stuff forced into your ears every waking moment. I feel at peace listening to melancholy indie stuff like this.

[@danny0888]

Also sometimes makes you feel like a person who is in the deepest and beutifull darkness. ...

[@orlandogloom5409]

Welcome, you guys :p Perhaps, if we all synchronize our feelings, we can try to mend this world for real, eventually...

[@lolataylor9158]

Linus T right? I don't really even see it as sad I just see it as beautiful :)

[@P9rkour90]

Linus T THANK YOU! Took the words out of my mouth!

[@TheULMOnaut]

It is a shame that people nowadays have to feel ashamed for being sad or depressed sometimes and I think the ones who have the sun shining out their a... all the time are just not accepting all the feelings they have. It seems like Elena feels like an alien... which is kind of sad. But wrighting down emotions and being able to express them is definitely a better way of dealing with depression than taking prescribted drugs that are just deafening the mind and change your peronality over time.

[@theflowerpotify]

What an exceptional soundscape they have built

[@david57strat]

Exactly! Ethereal soundscapes. Love them!

[@oldfisheyes]

i remember when this came out, how has it been six years already ???!!!! i'm so happy that daughter is finally back

[@clararaclette750]

Same man..

[@TheGeiner89]

Daughter is just unbelievable ! so great, so melancholic... and Elena just get more and more beautiful every time...

[@RoguePyxel]

As longer her hair gets you mean, yeah she gets more beautiful with it.

[@dillonaugust2212]

Wow, they sound so good live.... I looked away for a moment, thinking that I was listening to their album, then looked back and realized they were playing live.

[@samuelecongiu6828]

[@gorillakillaaa]

they get better and better every time I hear them live

[@HoracioGarciaMusic]

+First Denied There's a couple of videos on my page from their Austin, TX show about 2 weeks ago. They're amazing live

[@JestersGhost]

The lyrics to Doing the Right Thing hits all the right buttons. God damn it.

[@lifeisclimbing]

Cherryl is such an honest host, you can feel she cares for the music and the guests' thoughts and motivations. Also, thrilling performance by this band. Great show altogether.

[@reiko2231]

I wish they played Fossa it's also one of my faves

[@khadijahhudson5565]

Rein B. Omg!!! I love that song! ❤️

[@fakshen1973]

I can't believe Lucy Parnell isn't a full time member of the band. She really creates such haunting harmonies to round out the vocals. Wow. What a find.

[@blakelycreative3171]

I did not see her name in the show notes. Thanks.

[@winterbird4447]

and she has a really cool attitude too!

[@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington]

@@winterbird4447 What's cool about her attitude? Cause she's a fucking milennial bernadro sanders supporter?

[@sebastianrichter9008]

@@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington oh she is? thanks for pointing that out...lovin her more now!

[@uw10isplaya]

Ah, glad I found your comment, thought it was Josephine Stephenson when I was trying to look it up but could only find the trio of members listed lol.

[@189sigma]

This is how I discovered Daughter for the first time in 2016. Never heard of them until this moment.It was night time. Lights were off, silence in my apartment, just before sleep when I was watching KEXP.When "New Ways" started I immediately was focused on the melody. "This has potential" I thought. So I continued listening. Little did I know what was coming next. When the guitar rift came in at 2:27 I was in a new world! It spoke to me on my deep level. I couldn't stop listening. It was like fresh air that I was gasping for. It reflected something I was feeling and I could connect to. Absolutely transcending music. Two weeks later I saw them live in Toronto. From ignorance to fan in a matter of 2 minutes of New Ways. True story.

[@MyInfiniteZero]

Just discovered Daughter. Absolutely tremendous music.

[@user-hr3dg3fz5o]

I'm 50 and I'm in love with everything these guys do. THE BEST!

[@martinpotts]

They are, saw them live at Brixton Academy a few years back. Best band I’ve ever seen Live.

[@brienfoaboutanything9037]

[@trevillo]

Lucy Parnell should definitely join the band. She brings a perfect touch of energy, making the group sounding even more special. Congrats Daughter and KEXP. Keep up the outstanding work!

[@musicalmotors]

As a musician, those first two songs intimidate the hell out of me. Absolutely stunning. Every member incredibly talented. Such perfection in the sound.

I'm mesmerized by how extremely awkward and shy she is, fumbling and stammering when she talks.

doing the right thing is magic here

[@jasonsandler6951]

Elenas vocals are so clear here 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@subterreanhighrise]

"How" is a really great song. Stuck in my head for a month now.

[@gravedigger8414]

Love them so much! Always coming back to this session. 🥰

[@junkbondtrader_]

The girl playing the keyboard and the bass guitar seems really cool. Hope she continues performing with them.

Lucy Parnell

[@pedroneves2360]

This band is really good..Indie Shoegaze ...a cross between Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins, This Mortal Coil, Durutti Column & the great 4AD bands of late 80's also come to mind when i listen to this. AMAZING !!!!

[@abdeallahbennaceur3087]

I'm in love with that red headed girl in the back doing the most of the magic 😂❤

[@eileen1820]

Just discovered this band. I am mesmerized by this haunting sound. May be a new band crush ;)

[@Rikyell]

Same!!

[@satchitan]

I subbed to KEXP because of Daughter's first performance on 2013.. :)

[@jax4538]

Lucy Parnell is amazing - plays everything.

[@Yxpers]

I just discovered Daughter thanks to KEXP. Nice sound, Love Elena's voice. Love the guitar sound. Love the arrangements. And Lucy Parnell is absolutely astounding. Can't wait to see them in Montreal.

[@markcarrigan3179]

“I feel like I’m gaining some kind of power by expelling all of my inner thoughts and secrets to people in rooms” ❤

[@Nagnets]

The audio mixing and all of the levels are beautifully melded. No one sound source drowns out another one, just really smooth waves of sound. Artfully produced audio!

[@Carlo-ln1gb]

I love her shyness style, so rare in our metallics times

[@Michelle-499]

well worth the wait. sublime

[@fendertool]

I just saw them live, and man did I shatter into a thousand pieces

[@jasonsandler6951]

You know I think it's great when an artists has done what daughter has done , it shows how versatile and talented the band truly is each release is like a box of chocolates you never know what you are going to get ! They maintained their sound and still managed to sound like daughter and that's what makes them great this album is a very personal album can't wait for the next release!

[@gusorangetree]

This never gets old. So good

[@janknjazovic]

new girl is amazing!

[@leannaburnell1745]

No, they hired her to play live with them.

[@leannaburnell1745]

What don't you understand? There are 3 core members of the band who write the songs and record. When they tour they typically hire a 4th person to help round out the sound when the play live. It's not fucking complicated.

[@mfmmel]

Usually, people who talk like that on the internet can barely open their mouths in person. Unhappy resentful one taking advantage of virtual detachment.

[@martinpotts]

I have no children, but this is my Daughter.

[@akbarmahardhika2982]

Good one 😅🤣

[@grayfox196]

ooooh i love how shy helena is. love you.

[@martinet1985]

Oh my, I have not listened to them in a while and this appeared in my recommendations list today. I am literally speechless O-o Feels like this music is a part of my spirit I have always been searching for. Fuck...

[@jacobk2]

+Pi Niata Is this the same group which used to call itself "Pharaoh's daughter"?

[@martinet1985]

+Jacob K I think you're mixing them up with an American NY band, but I'm not sure ^^ Daughter might not be their initial name but it's what they were called when I first listened to them :)

[@jacobk2]

Pi Niata Yes I was mixing them up. They are two different bands. :)

[@adrigirl828]

Saw them live, I may have shed a few tears at how beautiful and moving they were

[@razahniser]

Daughter gave an AWESOME performance in Portland a few weeks back.

[@freemangordon42]

[@hMusic-tb8hl]

22:40 Those harmonies on the last chorus and the outro are incredible.

[@chartomosfil1278]

"How" has probably one of the best guitar riffs i've ever heard.

[@lucraetius]

Matter of taste, i absolutely hated it

[@chartomosfil1278]

+V94 I didn't say it wasn't a matter of taste.

[@Zipped_in]

He didn't say that you said it isn't a matter of taste

[@chartomosfil1278]

Haram Bee Maybe. But being obvious that my comment was totally subjective, i found that remarking the fact that liking or not the riff is a matter of taste was a proper response for a comment trying to express something subjective as if it were objective, and that's not the case of mine's. Though my english is not perfect, and maybe he did not want to say that. Anyway, i'm not angry of something. It's all fine :)

[@jordancochrane3895]

terrible riff i thought, sounded like a bunch of notes that weren't in the same key

[@clanzu2]

she is the most beautiful girl i ever saw , with all her qualities the voice , the maner af talk , behaviour she is gorgeous

[@markotek7015]

This human is art.

[@MrScarechrome]

I swear Daughter are one of those sparse bands that genuinely do sound 5 times better live. This set slayed me for real

[@Spongebobbkn]

One of their best sounding performances here... big love for Lucy, cool as a cucumber, perfect harmonies - should always be in the line-up.

[@radiazeghari7490]

I love how they are such an amazing band but still so humble, cute adorable and sooo shy.

[@cheyennewolfe9999]

This bands music has saved my life a few times over 🖤

[@marys5308]

took me a while to get used to their new album, definitely different from their first but i love them all the same. growing and changing with their fans, for sure. also, the interviewer's questions were on point -- articulate and in-depth. A+

[@antoniocenteno4959]

I love how Elena is so shy

[@bendoyle5023]

I've seen alot of people live and Daughter will always be my favourite, so emotional, powerful and perfect

[@acks1yeah]

Cheryl: Elena, let's talk about the lyric-- Elena: ooOHH

[@user-se7lw6ew7r]

She's my mind, I am absolutely in love with her

[@mertbalbal4624]

They sound even better doing a live show. Many bands sound great on the recording but suck at live performance but Daughter beautifully performs every time. They are awesome

[@uche5448]

this is pretty much the only reason i'm subscribed to kexp

[@HumanCapybara]

They sound so incredible live :)

[@leannaburnell1745]

Elena and Lucy's harmonies at the end of Numbers is a thing of fucking beauty.

[@comradethoth9629]

Their songs remind me of a sandy beach in Italy where you're lounging and can hear the Mediterranean waves crashing in the background.

[@clararaclette750]

It’s pretty interesting ! For me it’s a gloomy and cold day in fall or winter

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

[@robinkael]

Absolutely perfect!

[@150arroks]

The keyboard/ bass player is talented and beautiful!! 😍

[@dejavudvora]

Elena is obviously an HSP (highly sensitive person) just as me, and it gives me so much strenght seeing her channel her emotions into her music and lyrics. You have chosen an incredible path to cope with it, Elena. Thanks for being highly sensitive, and thanks for sharing it through your music.

[@sweetloveelmo]

As an HSP myself, I'm musically following in her footsteps and the ones of The Cure's Robert Smith's.

[@NovaWebPlus]

These guys are soooo honest and unimaginable warm, cool, also good vibes music! Respect KEXP for presenting masses to such incredible precious bands, like Daughter. Cheers!

[@beanz6745]

Wow! At the end of "Doing the Right Thing" it's like time literally stops!

Every single person in the band look hotter since the last KEXP presentation...

[@rippy4freedom499]

Love the new music, am so excited to see Daughter back at KEXP !

[@paramoregrl131]

I feel in love with this band a few years ago when iTunes free song of the week was landfill. I've been hooked since such a beautiful band, I was lucky enough to get tickets for the show in Nashville this November. I know it's going to be magical not only to see this wonderful band, but during the best time of the year in such a beautiful state. I cannot wait.

[@omgitalo]

Finally something good to remind me why I sub to KEXP. Awesome.

[@Genious.]

+Jovial "Finally"? You're finding KEXP isn't worth it?

[@omgitalo]

Daniel Drader It is for gems like this, just sometimes have to wait long longer.

[@Genious.]

But you get that saying 'finally something good' gives the impression that 'good' stuff on KEXP is few and far between, right?

[@omgitalo]

For me it does seem few and far between, but again, that's not saying it's not worth it. If anything some of the shit performances I see has comedic value at least. KEXP is all in all great, not hating on them at all.

[@Genious.]

+Drunkenstein 'Chill'? Do I seem outraged or hyper? I merely asked a question in a calm manner about something I didn't really understand. It seemed odd that someone would imply that KEXP doesn't really bring much. So maybe you can chill with the hyperbole 'Chief'.

[@daveshareitalways4536]

Such a perfect example of how amazing talent refines and grows. Loved them the first listen several years before and am amazed at where they are here. Impressive they took a year to prepare and contemplate before committing to the studio album phase. Elena has a voice that is so pure, evocative and honest and echoes in her gorgeous guitar work. Host Cheryl Waters is gracious and insightful as always- wish she was my long lost aunt so I could hear all her amazing stories...

[@alo.nsoacvbmfk]

Most viewed KEXP video of 2016. Most beautiful band ever.

[@imranhq13]

another awesome performance, so happy to see them here

[@MyEmpire91]

13:42 ... this little "sorry" perfectly describes how beautiful Elena's character is even without knowing her..
