Daughter’s Elena Tonra Announces New Ex:Re Album Save As: Hear “Radio Station”

Ever since 2010, Elena Tonra has led the London indie-rolk trio Daughter; they shared their decade-old outtake "Not Enough" earlier this year. Back in 2018, Tonra released a self-titled solo album under the name Ex:Re. She never intended to make a follow-up, but she got to working on a few fragments of songs a few years ago, and now she's got another Ex:Re record on the way. It's called Save As — great title, a menu selection that I used constantly — and it comes out next month.Tonra recorded Save As with her Ex:Re producer Fabian Prynn, and it's got Josephine Stephenson on cello, Hinako Omori on synth, Ben Reed on bass, and Jethro Fox on electric guitar. Opening track "Radio Station" is a strummy, evocative number about existing in a state of flux. In a press release, Tonra says, "The changing radio station is something I experience a lot — the push and pull of different feelings, and I end up getting stuck because I can’t make decisions." Director Angela Ricciardi shot the "Radio Station" video in Paris; check it out below.TRACKLIST:01 "Radio Station"02 "Sleep"03 "Am I Even Real?"04 "Two Chords"05 "Save As"06 "Frozen Aisle"07 "Wasp"08 "Language Of Love"09 "Healing Slow"TOUR DATES:10/30 - London, UK @ Rough Trade East10/31 - Brighton, UK @ Resident11/04 - Leeds, UK @ Jumbo11/05 - Liverpool, UK @ Jacaranda Basement11/06 - Oxford, UK @ TruckSave As is out 10/30 on 4AD.
