Daughter have revealed details of their debut album which will see the light of day this Spring. The London-based trio of Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella will release If You Leave on March 18th 2013 through 4AD worldwide (April 30th in N. America via Glassnote).
If You Leave was recorded over a period of months at home and in various spaces across London.

Fans of the track can also hear a live version of the song on John Kennedy's XFM show tonight, recorded as part of a four track session which includes various songs from the album. Listen here from 11pm tonight (9th Jan).
