"Worm's Head" - Joker's Daughter If Gnarls Barkley can refer to themselves as the "odd couple" (as per their 2008 album), then what to make of this pairing of Helena Costas, a London-born singer/songwriter/multi-instru mentalist of Greek Cypriot extraction, and Danger Mouse (himself half of Gnarls Barkley)? A really really odd couple? And what to make of this odd-couply music, part pastoral airiness, part Twilight Zoney strangeness? There are uncanny lyrics--"The horses turn into cows/And sheep lie on the edge of the road"--and an off-kilter heaviness to a beat [...]

In a deck of cards, the Joker stands out and doesn't fit into any one suit. Similarly, The Joker's Daughter , the musical collaboration of Helena Costas with the production of Danger Mouse , stands out in music and doesn't quite fit any one genre. Sure there's rock, electronica, psychedelia, but there's also hints of genres like polka. In just three songs, Costas managed to fit a lot of surprises. The Worm's Head is a 7 inch teaser of the music of The Joker's Daughter before the debut full-length is released by [...]
