Ana Roxanne: Poem 1 Vinyl LP

“‘I wanted to travel / Home into somewhere,’ Ana Roxanne breathes across an eerie suspended drone on ‘The Age of Innocence’. ‘I wanted to try / And go very far.’ These are the first words we hear on Poem 1 and reintroduce an artist whos in a conspicuously different phase of her life than she was when her debut album, Because of a Flower, sprouted nearly six years ago. Heartbroken and reflective, Roxanne surveys the transformations that followed and displays a new-found boldness. Her voice is naked, vulnerable and alive, no longer shrouded in tape noise or looped and echoed beyond recognition beneath layered electroacoustic textures. Throughout the course of Poem 1, Roxanne displays her skill as a singer and songwriter in the classic sense, using the limited instrumentation simply to accent her exposed tones.” – Kranky
