Daughters announce 2019 tour with Blanck Mass

It’s become pretty common for beloved bands to reunite and make good albums again, but it’s still rare for bands to reunite and make something that may very well be their best album, and that’s exactly what Daughters have done. The Providence band normally gets tagged as “noise rock,” and while there is plenty of abrasive noise on You Won’t Get What You Want, it’d be pretty misleading to slap that tag on this one. These are dark songs, full of atmosphere and the clearest production of any Daughters album. They often bring to mind the brooding post-punk of ’80s Nick Cave or the eerie experimental rock of early ’90s Swans. There are still blasts of cacophony, especially on “The Flammable Man,” but for the most part, the melody outweighs the dissonance this time around. (They are sinister, sometimes unsettling melodies, but melodies nonetheless.) The result is truly something awe-inspiring.

Daughters recently followed a hiatus with their great new album You Won’t Get What You Want on Ipecac (that’s an excerpt of our review above), and they are currently supporting it on a mostly-sold-out tour. They’ve now announced a much longer tour of larger venues for 2019, hitting multiple cities in the US, Canada, Europe, and the UK. All North American dates will be opened by noise artist Blanck Mass (aka 1/2 of Fuck Buttons).

The tour includes a return to Brooklyn on March 13 at Warsaw. Tickets for that show (and the rest of the tour) are on sale now. All dates are listed below.

If you haven’t heard the new album, you can stream that in full below too.
