{"product_id":"daughter-of-swords-alex","title":"Daughter of Swords- Alex ( Vinyl )","description":"\u003cp\u003eDaughter 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 released in 2019; in the years since, Sauser-Monnig found a new understanding of self, personally and musically. Across the last several years, Daughter of Swords' music has grown thornier, an unpredictable and knotty tangle of technicolor synths, heady guitar, bubbling rhythms, a sheen enveloping songs about raw human intensity writ large - crushes, desire, anger, alienation, the horrors of late-stage capitalism, the cascading paradigm shifts it seems we're all hurtling toward. Enter Alex, Daughter of Sword's sinewy new record. Recorded at Betty's (Sylvan Esso's studio), Alex was built out by Sauser-Monnig's longtime friends\/collaborators Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso, Mountain Man, The A's), Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes), Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso, Made of Oak), TJ Maiani (Weyes Blood, Neneh Cherry), and Caleb Wright (Hippo Campus, Samia). There's a sharp cerebral tension between the stories at the core of these songs and the electrifying, playful buoyancy of the sound, the wink with which Sauser-Monnig can deliver a withering observation. Reckoning with pleasure-seeking, boundary-breaking, and their place in the world, Alex heralds a fresh chapter of exploration and liberation for Sauser-Monnig, yielding the truest representation of their identity via song yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eAlone Together\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Talk to You\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Hard on\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Morning in Madison\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Money Hits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e All I Want Is You\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Willow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Dance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Strange\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Vacation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Song\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e West of West\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57421047300431,"sku":"850056058957","price":3.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/8725\/2047\/files\/4405836-3326421.jpg?v=1775632780","url":"https:\/\/vibesvinyl.com\/products\/daughter-of-swords-alex","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
