Rather, the album – produced by Fabian Prynn and also featuring Josephine Stephenson on cello, Hinako Omori on synthesisers, Ben Reed on bass and Jethro Fox on electric guitar – is the latest in the Daughter lead singer’s catalogue of expert chronicles of the gnawing minutiae of human consciousness: the over-thinking that consumes us, and the places we travel to escape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe title of album opener “Radio Station”, which begins with stately strummed acoustic guitar and morphs into a trippy song about an endless California roadtrip, is a metaphor for how Tonra feels about her mind. “I end up getting stuck because I can’t make decisions,” she says. Demo recordings live on in many of the final cuts, as on “Sleep”, which Tonra first recorded in a hotel room in Paris. The final version features a melodic loop made from the demo’s acoustic guitar run through a vocoder and a drum machine, which together offer a muffled quality to the sound, like hearing a party through a wall.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOther tracks, such as the stand-out “Am I Even Real?”, a Tonra-Prynn duet on which Tonra sings about spaceships to ask whether she is being true to herself in a relationship, found their true version in the studio. That combination of long-held ideas stored in notebooks and on laptops with unfiltered first thoughts and improvisations is key to the album’s perfect mingling of liveliness and deep thoughtfulness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"4AD","offers":[{"title":"LP (Crystal Clear Vinyl)","offer_id":58407266648447,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":58407266681215,"sku":null,"price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58407266746751,"sku":null,"price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/2825\/4773\/files\/ExRe-Save-As.jpg?v=1789147433","url":"https:\/\/vinilo.co.uk\/es\/products\/ex-re-save-as","provider":"Vinilo Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
