Jokers Daughter

Helena Costas，來自英國的女孩，出生在倫敦，有著希臘血統。從小學習提琴，并自學吉他和鍵盤。2003年，她寄錄音給著名多器樂藝術家和制作人Danger Mouse ，最終獲得了認可。Danger Mouse操刀下的初作，去年Beck的專輯Modern Guilt正出自Danger Mouse之手。從Gnarls Barkley ， Gorillaz 到 Beck，他還是第一次為不知名的藝人擔綱制作人，這點，也有點小詭異，事若不成，豈不是英名全毀？所以專輯和人-另類是肯定的，幽暗的基調，小甜美的飄逸女聲，還有許多奇怪的管弦樂渲染著小詭異的氛圍... 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.
