Daughter of Swords, aka Mountain Man's Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, has shared a video for "Shining Woman," the latest from her upcoming album, Dawnbreaker. Paste Magazine premiered the video and profiled Sauser-Monnig today.
Of the song and video Sauser-Monnig says "I wrote 'Shining Woman' at a moment when I was feeling really stuck and wrapped up in ideas about what being an adult woman looks like. The vision of this powerful person alone on a bike trip not asking permission from anyone appeared out of nowhere, and took up residence in my mind. Like my subconscious staging an intervention and reminding me that I haven't died, there are no rules, and that I have the power to make different choices for myself."
Dawnbreaker is available for pre-order now and due June 28th via Nonesuch Records.
