Daughter - 'Music From Before The Storm' Reissue For National Album Day
Daughter : 'Music From Before The Storm' Reissue For National Album Day
11th September 2024

London trio Daughter will celebrate National Album Day 2024 with an exclusive yellow recycled vinyl repressing of Music From Before The Storm, available from 19 October. Originally released in September 2017 with a scarcely available Record Store Day vinyl format, Daughter’s understated yet elemental score for Square Enix’s popular game ‘Life is Strange: Before the Storm’ has attracted a devoted following of fans from the gaming community, and has been highly sought after since.

Crafted in London in 2017, Daughter’s third album was the band’s debut foray into soundtrack-making. The result was a transportive, vast and grounded sonic landscape that cleverly taps into the game’s impressive worldbuilding, concept artwork and storytelling arch. The soundtrack was a huge success, nominated for an Ivor Novello Award in 2018 in the Best Original Video Game Score category, due to Daughter’s “knack for handling some of the harshest of subject matters with sensitivity and beauty… that seems to fit perfectly with the mix of chaos and normality that surrounds the narrative of ‘Life is Strange’” (DIY).

‘Life is Strange: Before the Storm’ was the highly anticipated prequel to the BAFTA award-winning narrative driven game released in 2015, ‘Life is Strange’. News of the collaboration between Daughter and Square Enix for the new game was greeted with excitement and the album’s first single ‘Burn it Down’ received widespread critical acclaim.
