Daughters' self-title; third album would be released on March 9th, 2010 under Hydra Head Records. While Hell Songs was most notable for stylistically changing the sound they've done prior on their first album Canada Songs, or their self-titled EP; Daughters - EP. Their niche mashup and collage of grindcore and noisecore that they ruled with an iron fist back in the early 2000's.
Daughters as a whole, reinvented themselves once again with this new stylistic approach to music. With this (album) being their most mainstream work up to date before You Won't Get What You Want. Taking a step back from their sasscore sound they've done on Hell Songs, Daughters is most notable for it's noise rock and post-hardcore sound they've began to take influence of, and it's step back from the dissonant and complex sounds of mathcore and began treading into more math rock territory as a result.
Daughters was recorded between late April of 2009. But in August of that same year, Daughters broke up. This was a result of Alexis Marshall (the lead vocalist) and Andrew Sadler (guitarist of the band) getting to an argument that resulted in Marshall leaving the band. While the rest of the band decided to call a hiatus, expecting that Marshall would come back, Sadler continued mastering the recording and finalized the artwork before working with artist Dave Fisher on a trailer video. Sadler was quoted on punknews.org as saying, "I was essentially trying to keep the band alive for who-knows-what, you know?". Despite the breakup, the album would release through Hydra Head Records with the band's management announcing that there wouldn't be any tours in support of the album. Andrew would be quoted in the same interview for punknews.org regarding the release and circumstances of this album. Saying that, "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".
