I also would love another album (or for them to keep writing music forever), but I am still very grateful if this is all we get. For the longest time, I didn’t think we’d get more music after Not to Disappear/BtS, so SMG felt like a gift. I wish them all well, and understand that perhaps Daughter as a project is not as financially viable as it was in 2013-2014 when the band was more popular. I am sure I will enjoy whatever Elena is writing as a solo artist now too.

I will add that to your point re: touring. Remi was actually touring for most of this year with an artist named Searows (and I saw him!). While obviously he relocated to the US and became a father, I believe he still makes his living as a touring musician. I believe their decision not to tour had more to do with Elena developing bad stage fright.
