Anna Ash

Add Date: February 1st 2022

Artist: Anna Ash

Album: Sleeper

Label: Black Mesa Records

Genre: Folk

Comments: From the promoter: "Sleeper is infused with an emotional intelligence that conjures nostalgia with the memory of a middle school boyfriend’s cologne and evokes a tenderness specific to L.A. in an evening full of car alarms, fireworks, and the rare California lilac. Ash’s songs regularly feature on soundtracks (Billions, Masters of Sex) and curated playlists and her fans will recognize that trademark textured guitar and soaring voice. The tight pocket of previous albums gives way to more spacious arrangements and atmospherics — buoyant keys, group harmonies, pedal steel and horns. There’s an urgency, an immediacy to the album, as if Ash is processing this perilous moment (and all the ones before) in real-time. Sleeper, then, is a soundtrack of sorts, trenchant songs to score the moments when memories play life movies and the fire is at your door."
