‘With both spoken word and sung lyrics populating the lushly ethereal folk arrangement, the track slots in alongside those contemporaries like Cassandra Jenkins. Songs looking to push the possibilities of language within the indie folk movement, and elevate the emotions found within.’ This is how Various Small Flames review describes Anna Westin’s single, Bright Burning Mess, the second single released in anticipation of her sophomore album LEV in March 2022.
Her first single, A Slow Revelation, described as a lush ‘blending of time to create something beyond time’, in Psychedelic Baby Magazine.
Anna Westin is a singer, songwriter, and poet. Her music fuses folk, electronic and experimental music, producing a raw and unique sound. Anna’s effortless vocals are often intertwined with spoken word poetry. As songwriter and poet, she has also produced scores for several British short films and has toured North America and the Middle East, performing at many well known music venues throughout the UK.
Currently based between the Canadian East Coast, and London, UK, Anna’s latest album LEV was produced by Voka Gentle’s Ellie and Imogen Mason (Mara Simpson), and mixed by Marcus Hamblett (Villagers, James Holden, The Staves, This is the Kit), mastered by Harris Newman, and features Rob Pemberton (The Staves, Rachel Dadd, Willie Mason) and Joanne Clara (Roo Panes) among others.
