DAUGHTER / His Young Heart EP (2011)

His Young Heart is wonderful. Female singer/songwriter Elena Tonra has a similar vocal pitch to Florence (of Florence + The Machine) but it's altogether more emotionally engaging and poetically sincere. Florence is stadium music; Elena is small venue, up close and personal music. Click on the links below, they'll do a much better job of selling it to you than I can. My one criticism is that it's much too brief. But I guess that's what the repeat function is for, right?

You can grab it for a few coins from bandcamp, HERE. Totally worth it.
