Stereo Mind Game is the third studio album by English indie folk band Daughter. It was released on 7 April 2023 through 4AD and Glassnote Records, following a seven-year gap since their previous studio album Not to Disappear.

Despite the band members relocating to different cities and the impact of the COVID 19 pandemic, they continued to write together, with the eventual album being recorded in various locations including Devon, Bristol, London, San Diego and Vancouver.[1]

It is the first album by Daughter to feature vocals other than by lead singer Elena Tonra, with fellow band member Igor Haefeli singing on “Future Lover” and “Swim Back.”[2]

Reception

Much of the reception focused positively on the album's continuity to previous efforts, with NME stating it is exemplary of the "rich orchestration and poetic lyricism they’re known for",[3] while AllMusic described how "Daughter change things up while remaining instantly familiar".

Mojo, however, took issue with the tone of the album, describing how "the darkness of Daughter's dream-pop can feel a bit suffocating".
