About the artist

Daughter of Swords

Daughter of Swords, the solo project of musician Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, emerged onto the folk scene with a quiet grace that belies her formidable talent. Known for her ethereal vocals and intricate guitar work, Daughter of Swords weaves together introspective lyrics with haunting melodies to create music that feels both intimate and expansive. After honing her craft as a member of the Americana trio Mountain Man, Sauser-Monnig struck out on her own to explore new sonic territory. With her debut album "Dawnbreaker," released to critical acclaim in 2019, Daughter of Swords established herself as a force to be reckoned with in the indie folk world. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, personal relationships, and the complexities of the human experience, Daughter of Swords crafts songs that are both deeply personal and universally relatable. From the delicate fingerpicking of "Gem" to the dreamy harmonies of "Long Leaf Pine," her music invites listeners to immerse themselves in a world of beauty and introspection. With a voice that is at once tender and powerful, Daughter of Swords invites us to slow down, take a deep breath, and listen. In a musical landscape filled with noise and chaos, her music offers a moment of stillness and clarity, a moment to pause and reflect on the beauty of the world around us. So sit back, close your eyes, and let the music of Daughter of Swords transport you to a place of peace and serenity.
