  "account": "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.\n\nTonra 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.",
