Daughters

Daughters is the third studio album by American rock band Daughters, released on March 9, 2010, through Hydra Head Records. It was released after the band's initial break up in August 2009, and would be their final studio release until, following the band's reformation in 2013, it was followed by You Won't Get What You Want in 2018. Background Writing and recording Sadler described the writing process of their third album as, "[making] demos for three years at the house and then taking songs, song ideas and some riffs to the practice space to hash them out with Jon [Syverson]. This album really caught up with us. People were getting a little older, the whole band was extremely poor from touring over the years, so life outside the band really caught up with us and it became hard to really do anything. I'm very proud of this record just because we were able to make it, you know? It was a real struggle." Recording for Daughters' third album began in late April, 2009, and tracking was finished by June. However, in August, Daughters had abruptly broken up. After finishing recording for the album Sadler stated he and Marshall got in an argument, resulting in Marshall leaving the band. The rest of the band then went on hiatus. Sadler continued with mastering the record, finalizing the artwork and worked with artist Dave Fisher on a trailer video. Sadler stated that he "was essentially trying to keep the band alive for who-knows-what" and "hoping [Marshall] would come back or maybe in a few years we would start playing again." Eventually Sadler moved to Brooklyn and Marshall expressed interest in rejoining, but insisted that Sadler should be replaced, which consequently resulted in the band's dissolution.
