Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

By titling their 2018 fourth full-length and debut for Ipecac Recordings, You Won't Get What You Want, Daughters send a crystal clear message. The quartet once again follow the same internal compass that guided them to blur the lines of fickle heavy music sub-genres in the first place and quietly ignite a cult fervor typically reserved for grindhouse phenomena. In fact, the best way to describe the philosophy and the sound of the quartet is simply rock 'n' roll. The minimal wail of first single InchSatan In The WaitInch belies Alexis's intense spoken word-style delivery as gothic keys magnetically draw the spotlight. Follow-up InchThe Reason They Hate MeInch hinges mechanized riffing and glitchy electronics as the frontman's haunting and hypnotic intonation curls around the hook. Elsewhere, InchLess S*xInch dips into a bluesy guitar that could've easily soundtracked a dark moment of True Detective Season 1, while the seven-minute InchOcean SongInch spirals into numbing noise oblivion.
