Daughter of Swords Releases New Song ‘Alone Together’

    Daughter of Swords – the project of North Carolina singer-songwriter Alex Sauser-Monnig, who has released music with the bands Mountain Man and The A’s – has returned with a new single called ‘Alone Together’. The track was made with Amelia Meath (Sylvan Esso, Mountain Man), Nick Sanborn (Sylvan Esso, Made of Oak), Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak, Flock of Dimes), TJ Maiani (Weyes Blood and Neneh Cherry), and Caleb Wright (Hippo Campus, Samia). Check it out below.

    “‘Alone Together’ is a song about reckoning with the need to connect when the rest of your life is locked in and satisfying,” Sauser-Monning explained in a statement. “The cracking of the veneer of self sufficiency. Its content was mirrored in its recording, in the way recording a song demands vulnerability and community to bring it into fullness and reality.”

    Daughter of Swords’ debut LP, Dawnbringer, was released in 2019.
