Anna Leone - Wandered Away Vinyl Record

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 EP release. Anna Leone has always been something of an introvert. Raised in a hushed suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, Anna spent most of her time immersed in video games and comic books. It wasn't until her early teens that she discovered music as a way of dealing with emotions. On her stirringly vulnerable debut EP Wandered Away Anna Leone's raspy vocal floats above uplifting chords, melancholy yet hopeful. The EP was produced by Bryan Wilson, the Grammy-nominated producer, engineer and mixer who's worked with the likes of Florence + The Machine, Wolf Alice, Arctic Monkeys, Stormzy and Lianne La Havas. And with references including Bob Dylan, Lana Del Rey, Bon Iver and Laura Marling, Anna Leone has successfully developed her own magnetizing take on the singer-songwriter genre; one that has set her in place as one of 2018's most promising breakthroughs. For Leone, the fantastical art she loves to indulge in is all about escaping, and big, existential questions. But in her own music her aim is only for "people to connect to the music, to feel something." Her subject matter may come from being alone but her songs pierce you so directly they'll remind you that you never really are.
