Jokers Daughter

Helena Costas，来自英国的女孩，出生在伦敦，有着希腊血统。从小学习提琴，并自学吉他和键盘。2003年，她寄录音给著名多器乐艺术家和制作人Danger Mouse ，最终获得了认可。Danger Mouse操刀下的初作，去年Beck的专辑Modern Guilt正出自Danger Mouse之手。从Gnarls Barkley ， Gorillaz 到 Beck，他还是第一次为不知名的艺人担纲制作人，这点，也有点小诡异，事若不成，岂不是英名全毁？所以专辑和人-另类是肯定的，幽暗的基调，小甜美的飘逸女声，还有许多奇怪的管弦乐渲染着小诡异的氛围... The atmospheric folk-pop outfit Joker's Daughter is a collaboration between English-by-way-of Greece singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Helena Costas and genre-bending hip-hop artist/producer Danger Mouse (Gnarls Barkley, Danger Doom, DM & Jemini). Costas, who began her musical career on violin, crafts elegant pop songs that draw on everything from mythology to food to late-'60s/early-'70s British folk -rock. Her correspondence with Danger Mouse began in 2003 with home-recorded demos, which he would then paint with his signature eclectic color and instrumentation. The group's debut album, Last Laugh, arrived in 2009, featuring brass from Neutral Milk Hotel's Scott Spillane and the string arrangements of Daniele Luppi.
