Ex:Re – “Sleep”
At the end of this month, Elena Tonra who leads the indie-folk trio Daughter, is dropping a new album under another project Ex:Re, titled Save As . She's already released the lead track "Radio Station," and earlier this week, she shared the follow-up single "Sleep." The post Ex:Re – “Sleep” appeared first on Stereogum .
In the upcoming week, Daughter frontwoman Elena Tonra prepares to release a new album titled "Save As" under her alias Ex:Re. She has already unveiled the lead single "Radio Station" and shared the follow-up, "Sleep". The latter originated as a demo recorded in a Paris hotel room, constructed using a looped acoustic guitar, vocoder, and drum machine, resulting in a mysterious and eerie atmosphere. Tonra's vocals remain as distinct as crystal water, yet the production generates a subtle aura of uncertainty around her voice.
Tonra described the single as having a "late night, after hours" vibe, expressing her intention to dance to it. Despite the title "Sleep" and the lyric "guess there's nothing left to do but sleep", the song exudes a sense of restlessness. Its final line, "I fall apart in taxis/ I free myself on dance floors", encapsulates this sentiment perfectly. "Save As" is set to be released on October 30th via 4AD. Fans can pre-order the album now.
