Shadows by Goddess & Ex:Re

29 March 2025

I have two playlists that I update regularly and listen to almost every day. The first — #20 — is my favourite twenty songs right now, no more no less, and roughly corresponds to the tracks I post on here. If it makes it to #20, it makes it to the blog.

The other — imaginatively titled “New Music” — is a seventy seven hour long dumping ground of any new music that comes out that I might want to listen to. Every week I trawl through the new releases — songs and albums — and if there’s anything interesting I’ll add it to the playlist. Then I’ll listen to all of it on shuffle. Every once in a while I’ll sweep through and clean out anything that I’ve been skipping too much.

The one and only album by Ex:Re — the solo moniker for Elena from Daughter — has been in my New Music playlist, in full, ever since it came out in 2018. It’s a no skips record. But, being a solo project, and Daughter still very much being a going concern, it always felt like a one off.

And yet, here we are in 2025 with a new Ex:Re track. Well, sort of. This track is from a project called “Goddess”, which is created and curated by ex Savages drummer Fay Milton, and it brings some of that Savages energy to the depth of Elena’s vocal, and it all works exceptionally well.
