His Young Heart EP

His Young Heart is a four track EP by Daughter which was self-released by the band on 6 June 2011.

Background
His Young Heart was self released by Daughter on June 6th, 2011. Later, it was re-released on July 3, 2012 on Glassnote Records who pressed it on 10" vinyl and made it available as a download. The cover image is an old family photograph of singer Elena Tonra. Tonra and Haefeli recorded this together as drummer Remi would join them later in the year.

Critical Reception
Frankie Ward of For Folk's Sake commented on the EP, saying:"'Daughter’ s latest EP, a four-track work called  His Young Heart, builds upon Tonra’ s intuitive skills as a songwriter, exploring deeply personal avenues whilst seemingly taking inspiration in atmosphere from Bat For Lashes’ Natasha Kahn, building a quivering wall of sound constructed from layers of vocals, percussion, and lashings of reverb on ‘Candles’. The sense of ambience present in Daughter’ s first demos is still present, however, and one listens imagining that the singer has performed the whole record live with a dozen ‘Daughter clones’ accompanying her. Sometimes this use of effect can make the recording feel more lo-fi and tinny sounding than one might expect from a full EP release, something that makes me wonder if Daughter is still a ‘ project in progress’ .'"He also commented:"'But the recordings themselves are full of charm, occasionally featuring the wonderful embellishment of fingers sliding across strings, serving as a tactile accompaniment to the sexual current that simmers beneath the surface of each song. If Tonra were to work with a major label, could this personal touch be lost completely?'"
