anna lena and the orchids

Limited 10" release. Norwegian chanteuse Anna Lena's voice is a unique instrument, a diamond-sharp and crystal clear, mellifluous instrument that at times soars and interweaves through the orchids' backing. The four songs on her eponymous debut ep are as stirring as any inked by the likes of bat for lashes, four songs that are delicately handled, yet emotionally forceful when needed. The production here is the perfect frame for Anna Lena's songs, a sombre and meaningful accompaniment that lifts each moment to perfection.
