Alex Sauser-Monnig of Mountain Man and the A's has announced their sophomore album as Daughter of Swords. The pseudo-self-titled effort Alex will arrive through Psychic Hotline on April 11.
Today, the artist shares the album's first single "Talk to You," which lands alongside a music video by fellow Mountain Man member, Amelia Meath of Sylvan Esso. The song showcases a new artistic direction for Sauser-Monnig, whose previous output has leaned more folk — and it honestly kind of sounds like Sylvan Esso (in a good way!).
The synth-forward album is said to find Sauser-Monnig reassessing their relationship with gender, art, creativity, the music industry and other humans.
