Hearts & Daggers is the long awaited follow-up album to Miss Murgatroid and Petra Haden’s critically acclaimed 1999 debut release, Bella Neurox.

Hearts & Daggers offers nine tracks of absolute symphonic loveliness. The album could be described as a simple but unique combination of accordion, violin and voice pulled from waters deep and strange. With a mix of vocals and instrumentals that transport the listener from eerie dark alleys to the lush Italian seaside through to the false bottoms of haunted toy chests.
