Daughter, the London-based trio of Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli and Remi Aguilella, will release new material this Autumn, their first since joining 4AD. A brand new song, 'Smother', will be released on 7" vinyl on October 1st. It will come backed with a new version of live favourite 'Run'.

A-side 'Smother' is now streaming on the band's website here.

Only their third release in their short career, the single follows in the footsteps of EPs His Young Heart and The Wild Youth. Elena, Igor and Remi are currently writing and recording their debut album; 'Smother' and 'Run' offers a tantalising glimpse of what's to come from the young trio.   

Also announced today, Daughter have confirmed they will play their biggest headline show at London's Hackney Empire on 24th January 2013. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, more details can be found here.
