Anna Aaron - Neuro (2014)

Even the title of her very first EP, “I’ll Dry Your Tears Little Murderer”, marked pianist Anna Aaron out as a talent with a singular vision in today’s overcrowded pool of singing songwriters. She followed this up two years later with the album “Dogs in Spirit”, a strikingly idiosyncratic collection of electronically tinged songs that didn’t shy away from experiments with pure noise, jarringly loud guitars, accordions as well as satisfyingly old-fashioned Hammonds and pianos. At the same time, she isn’t averse to the odd, sweet melodic turn or catchy chorus. Anna Aaron spent several childhood years in England and in various cities in Asia. Undoubtedly, the music she heard then filtered into her own muse, perhaps helping to explain some of the unusual vocal harmonies and melodies that permeate her arrangements.
