...Joker's Daughter is the brainchild of London-based folkie Helena Costas and New-York ?ber-producer Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse. ..This is a spacey album that allows the music room to breathe and accentuates the whimsical quality of Costas's lyrics. Her songwriting bears close similarities to Vashti Bunyan, heavy on the hippy imagery and rooted in fantastical tales of knights and talking animals. This may turn some people off but with the freak folk movement in full flow at the moment there is little here that truly jars...The more you listen to The Last Laugh the more you realise that this is a match made in heaven. ..
