   well this was fantastic ! This record is something this band always had to be. when I listened to If You Leave the record was fine but hadwell this was fantastic ! This record is something this band always had to be. when I listened to If You Leave the record was fine but had some weird moments is it and was not catchy enough. so I said they need to work harder cause there is "something" in them that sometimes show itself but ain't enough. like a hook or something. and now it's here ! this record is catchy and deep at the same time. the vocals are more flexible and the instrumental parts are much better developed. lyrics : amazing ! while it never gets too emotional it goes on to be touching and flowing. overall : it's a fascinating album by a band that just got their identity.… Expand

   Not to Disappear fits perfectly within the dark days and the feelings of fear and loneliness that sometimes dominates us. With the consideredNot to Disappear fits perfectly within the dark days and the feelings of fear and loneliness that sometimes dominates us. With the considered textual depth of Elena Tonra and different musical currents the album knows how to move around the emotion and pain. The inner strength of the lyrics and the musical accompaniment thereby knows how to go much more into the emotions than on predecessor If You Leave. Especially the first half picks up the conflicts and developments well in daydreaming shoegaze, melodic indie-pop and propulsive post-rock. Where the musical roads sometimes manages to lose in the aggressiveness of the texts, the trio shows up strongly to keep the album on level. The heavy roads that they develop by subjects from everyday reality, will certainly not let them disappear. 7.5/10

Like in the beginning, i did not really like it. I felt like Daughter could not establish the same setting they did on their last album, which resulted in the album sounding most boring, very uninspired, sometimes just badly produced.But with time, the album won me over. I was 100% concious of songs like Doing The Right Thing, New Ways and No Care being like super good, i loved those songs while disliking or halfheartly accepting the rest. But i also fell in love with songs like Made of Stone which is just nicely composed with the bass always coming on when Elena finishes her verse. Just really soothing and nice to listen to. Also the song How, that has this nice variations of quiet and loud melodys that are always switching plus the vocals are pretty good. So yeah, i do enjoy this record now quite a bit, but still....that little spark, that made their first album so good is just missing here.… Expand

   Where Daughter succeeds most on Not to Disappear is in creating a hazy, dreamy atmosphere with well-produced, otherworldly instrumentation.Where Daughter succeeds most on Not to Disappear is in creating a hazy, dreamy atmosphere with well-produced, otherworldly instrumentation. The guitars pierce through the noise like light through thick fog. Frontwoman Elena Tonra's vocals are another highlight, supplementing the whimsical instrumentation with a subtle beauty. Though the sound has been well crafted, my biggest issue with Not to Disappear is the songwriting. Apart from a few tracks, namely How and No Care, I felt the songs here were lacking in melody. There are not enough dynamics to keep this intriguing sound interesting throughout the album's runtime. For this reason, Not to Disappear is going to be a difficult record for me to return to.
