anneka // jaws of day

one sure way to pique my musical interest is to lay down some sensuous femme vocals over a wickedly dangerous track. anneka is an accomplished vocalist/multi-instrumentalist and visual artist based in brighton, u.k. who isn’t afraid to try different approaches to further her craft. and, if you’ve followed this blog for some time then her name is a familiar one. and for good reason, she makes another appearance here with her song, “jaws of day” . the track was originally included as part of the electronic explorations compilation released mid-summer. however, it is available now as a single for immediate download too, how cool is that? after listening to this gem i am eagerly awaiting more music from anneka sooner rather than later. peace.

Lone // Spirals (Ft. Anneka)

Matt Cutler, bka Lone, is a dealer of sorts, he deals in things that go bump in the night. Rightly so there exists warnings galore concerning intoxicants which can be ingested orally or through the old olfactory locale.  However, not one warning concerning the dangers of overdosing on music. We all know music can be the ultimate mood altering product, no? Especially, if you’re listening to the lush track “Spirals” by Lone featuring the THC-ridden vocals of Anneka. Yes, this is muy primo product. It’s 100% organic, highly addictive, yet it won’t put you in danger of losing your job or crashing your coche into a tree. You can pre-order the whole enchilada, Galaxy Garden available in iTunes. Peace. Continue reading “Lone // Spirals (Ft. Anneka)”

anneka // promise // indigo run

It is said joy comes in the morning, perhaps even on gossamer wings whilst blowing a golden trumpet. But there are also other, perhaps more mundane and pertinent ways to experience joy in the morning, afternoon or late into the night. And just as with the fictive heavenly trumpets heralding the coming of something phenomenal, the pure-honey voice of Anneka proclaims the coming of wondrous musical magic. Anneka claims my speakers as the medium which to deliver her sound slivers of heavenly delight. I’ve been filling up my ears with the sumptuously fulfilling sounds of Anneka and her various (intentional?) takes of torturing me leave me wanting to listen to her all the more. It’s a strange thing to fall hard for a voice, but not just any voice. This voice is effortless, and how it floats lightly (mayhap the air beneath an angel’s wing), but plummets straight into your heart like Cupid’s proverbial arrows, and alas you’re helpless.  I’ve got a couple of gems from her Brighton Electric Studios rehearsal sessions, with Anneka singing the songs “Promise” and “Indigo Run”. As you watch this young Englishwoman perform, it is easy to see and hear how gorgeously talented she is. Hope you enjoy. Peace.

anneka // shut her down

Take a sip of something pure and unadulterated. No, this isn’t a drinking-game challenge. Although in the end you’ll be somewhat inebriated, led on a tether, and thoroughly teased. Listen to the voice of Anneka singing acappella her come hither song, “Take Her Down.” Her’s is a voice distilled and denuded of impurities and electronic wizardry. Sorry, no auto-tune here folks. The woman with the enchantingly naked voice knows exactly what she’s doing, and I suspect putting listeners through the wringer is a favorite pastime. Without a doubt, no ‘Eve-teasing’ here. No, the tables are definitely turned in her favor. But really, what modern, and oh so confident woman would want it any other way? And when Anneka sings, “Easy is the way you free fall into the lap of inertia…” It’s a wrap. Pinch me I’m steaming. Peace. Continue reading “anneka // shut her down”
