Anna B Savage

Following on from her critically acclaimed records A Common Turn and in|FLUX, Anna B Savage returns with third effort You and i are Earth, a record that is as much about healing as it is an unbowed sense of curiosity.

A sense of rootedness is at the heart of Anna B Savage’s third record with Anna proferring the body of work more simply as “a love letter to a man and to Ireland.”

“One of the things that I was reading while I was making this record was Manchán Magan’s book 32 words for Field, and the idea that language can have an explicit connection to the land. When I am in Ireland, that sense of grounding is vast but also intimate, and sometimes it’s a bit magical and sometimes a bit scary.”

It’s fitting then, that You & i are Earth folds in some of Ireland’s brightest contemporary musicians, with Kate Ellis and Caimin Gilmore from Crash Ensemble, Cormac Dermody from Lankum and Anna Mieke contributing vocals, strings, harmonium, bouzouki, taishōgoto and clarinets to the album, all tied together by producer John ‘Spud’ Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi).
