Omschrijving
With her previous releases, Anne Garner has secured a very special place, right in the middle of the area where indie folk, singer-songwriter and ambient music overlap.
Since 2006 she has partnered with experimental music producer James Murray, who is also the label owner of Slowcraft Records.
Their collaboration resulted in the immensely beautiful set Trusting a Twirled World - released in a vocal as well as an instrumental edition.
Genre: Dreampop
Be Life - the successor of that 2011 album set, and again the result of the close collaboraton with James Murray - moves further along the same path . but somehow it feels as if Anne's otherworldy vocals are even more intense and intimate.
This is shamelessly romantic music, and also unmistakeably English in nature.
Anne's soft voice (closely recorded as if whispering directly in your ear), the lyrics, and possibly most of all the arrangements are as reassuring as a new-found love.
"It's folk when celebrating lives lived, the grass and the dew and the soil. It's classical when steeped in an ancient hymnal timelessness. She draws on electronica an electroacoustic too, though these are songs in the truest sense; intimate arrangements leaving lasting personal impressions."
