Two Daughters

Two Daughters was an enigmatic early 80's outfit consisting of Paul, Anthony Burke, Jon More, and Nicky Rogers with other uncredited musicians. They had two cassette releases, "Two Daughters" (1980), "Kiss The Cloth / Gloria" (1981)... and a contribution to Cherry Red experimental compilation "Perspectives and Distortion" (1981). Their music, a strange transcendental trip through archaic ceremonial chants, repetitive forms, hypnotic paths, electronic melancholy and industrial ambience, explores streams of subconscious and reflects a strong dark nostalgia for the unknown, the past, the unexplained. Quite pioneering for its time and not worse at all than other, very popular stuff of the overestimated United Dairies label. Anthony passed away in 2004 but there are plans to re-release some of the Two Daughters recordings.
