Who is Daughter of Swords?
Behind the name Daughter of Swords is Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, already known as a member of the acclaimed folk trio Mountain Man. While her roots lie in intimate acoustic folk, her 2025 solo project and album Alex saw her embrace a more layered sound, where “technicolor” synthesizers blend with a clear, almost hypnotic vocal presence.
The artist’s name itself, borrowed from the Tarot (the “Page of Swords”), suggests an energy of renewal—of someone who refuses to be held back by past inhibitions, leaping instead toward new possibilities. It’s a connection that may not have been intentional, but it fits perfectly with the concept of a “Neo” product—something new by definition.
