Daughter of Swords is the solo project of North Carolina singer-songwriter Alex Sauser-Monnig (they/she), who has also released music with bands Mountain Man and The A’s. Their solo debut, Dawnbreaker, was a hushed folk record, but in the years since, Alex Sauser-Monnig has found a new understanding of self, personally and musically . The album is built out by Sauser-Monnig’s longtime friends/collaborators Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes), Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso, Made of Oak), and TJ Maiani (Weyes Blood and Neneh Cherry).
