Hell Songs is Daughters' second full-length. It was released on August 8, 2006 on Hydra Head Records. Surprisingly, due to the change in the band's style, as well as help from members of the band Kayo Dot, Daughters' were able to double the length of their previous recording, and end up with an album length of 23:13. The album sees Daughters changing their style musically as well as vocally; there is no screaming whatsoever, with Alexis Marshall employing Elvis Presley-esque singing voice instead.
