Daughter Of Swords, Solo Project Of Mountain Man's Alexandra Sauser-Monning, Releases Track "Gem"

New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Daughter of Swords, the solo project of Alexandra Sauser-Monning of Mountain Man, has released the track "Gem," the first peek into her solo output. The song is the first music from the debut Daughter of Swords album, due later this year on Nonesuch Records. While album details are still to come, "Gem" can be downloaded on iTunes now and heard below via Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

"'Gem' is about that omnipotent feeling you get when you're falling in love and the rules haven't been made yet," says Sauser-Monning. "When everything feels possible and the world looks beautiful and shining, and at the same time, you and the world are kind of dented from human contact. This was the first song Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso) and I produced together. It was so much fun. To me, with its messed up little drum beat and unrelenting optimism, it feels like a romance novel in song form being played out of a tiny, broken cassette player."
