Joker's Daughter

Joker’s Daughter is the alias of London multi-instrumentalist Helena Costas and here she teams up with current top production dog and one half of Gnarls Barkley, American Danger Mouse and a handful of others including Daniele Luppi and Neutral Milk Hotel’s Scott Spillane. This is certainly no Gorillaz-style thumping dance-rock cross over from Danger Mouse though with his layering of keys, strings and horns a haunting atmospheric backdrop to her English pastoral folk, spooky airy delivery and kooky lyrics. The latter add humour to the more traditional subject matters of goats and goblins – when did you last hear a track devoted to that tasty treat, the Jaffa Cake? Very more-ish all round, in fact.
