Anna B Savage will return next year with her third album You & I Are Earth, out January 24 via City Slang. (Her last album was 2023’s in|FLUX.) She made it with producer John ‘Spud’ Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi). “When I was writing the first record, it felt difficult,” Anna says. “I wanted to make sense of something I didn’t really understand. Then with the second record I had done some therapy, and was getting to grips with myself, but my old self was still pulling me back a bit, but with this one it was quite different.”
The first single is “Agnes” which features Anna Mieke. “This song is inspired by Irish folklore, therapy practice, and a tweet,” Anna says. “In therapy we had been meditating and visualizing, a practice that is in turns frightening and deeply comforting. Concurrently, I was reading about Selkies and Faeries, and it was when I read this tweet that I felt the folklore melding with my own personal therapeutic experiences. That moment of potential relief followed by a deep terror, and the act of turning your clothes inside out to release your entrapment from the ‘stray sod’.”
The song’s opening lyric — “I’m under the soil, curled into a soft moss bed” — is the inspiration for the music video and album art, which she directed and Katie Silvester photographed. It’s warm, baroque and bucolic, with some nice woodwind use. Watch the video below.
