As the line-up for Laneway Festival Australia was published two days earlier (24/09), the Singapore’s installment finally reveals their line-up today. Last year, the festival had Tame Impala, Kimbra, and Divine Fits as one of the line-up. For this year, there will be :

The annual music festival will return to the 2013’s festival site, The Meadow Gardens by The Bay, and for the first time ever, this year’s Laneway are presenting not just one, but three Singapore artists; Gema, The Observatory and Vandetta. Also in this coming January will also be the first time they setting up three stages aside from the two stages you are already familiar with, a third stage will be added for us to present the entire line-up in this 12-hour festival, turning The Meadow into a festival in the truest sense of the word.

“We have always wanted to showcase local talents since we started here in 2009. This year, with the addition of a third stage, we finally had the room to actually do it. These three acts I picked personally are all truly worthy of their position in this incredible group of artists. Festival-goers are in for such a treat,”  -Danny Rogers, one of the founders of Laneway Festival.

The tickets will go on sale on October 1^st 2013 via SISTIC and Event Clique.

Daughter’s music is seriously taking you to some-kind of dark side where you’ll find it nice to just sit alone in the corner and deeply think about everything. Not only bringing in “sad” music in it, but you also have to praise their writing skills. The lyrics which are deeply personal and they will easily break your tears. The extra credits over the powerful lyrics and music should be given to Elena. Her singing just clicks with the music and takes the whole wheel of Daughter’s strength point. You’ll find her vocals a bit like Enya, Feist, or Sinead O’ Connor.

Their debut album which was released on March 18^th 2013 through 4AD is actually a pending business that they have to deal after having a packed schedule of tour gigs in 2012. “There’s always things you have to learn, I don’t know if I’d repeat the process though haha. We had a lot of tour gigs in 2012, which was incredible, but it meant we had to juggle touring and coming back to the studio. It was a bit all over the place; jigsaw-like in the end. We’re really proud of it, it’s our first album, it wouldn’t be out if we weren’t.” said Elena on Daughter’s debut album to scenewave.com. Not so long after its launching date, the band got positive feedbacks from BBC. And the great is, most of the songs are written by them in an emotional conditions that are truthfully poured in their music.

            It’s clear that Daughter’s music is full with personal lyrics, dramatic music, and you may say it as a graving song. But, Daughter are not giving those typical sad lyrics which is the tendency of some musicians. Daughter’s music is expensive, serene, and mild. If you are not a fan of a ballad or sad songs, Daughter’s should be your exception. They will haunt you with the deep poetry lyrics and will dim your life’s light for a moment.
