Anne Malin - Strange Power [CD]

'Stranger Power!', the fifth record from Durham, NC-based songwriter and poet Anne Malin Ringwalt is being released in conjunction with her second book of poetry 'What Floods' (Inside the Castle, Oct. 2024). The album may recall familiar wanderings of personal underworlds such as Mount Eerie's Lost Wisdom Pt. 2 or Neil Young's Ditch Trilogy. This marks Ringwalt's first time in the role of producer. Violins, vibraphones, drum machines, electric guitars dappled with spring reverb, wind-blown shells, and a host of other numinous sounds form an unfurling and shadowy world which was then carefully honed during the mixing process (shepherded by co-producer Michael Cormier-O'Leary and mix engineer Lucas Knapp) - settling the final record in an eerie meridian between spareness and verdancy.
