(((folkYEAH!))) Presents
Anna Mieke plus Alina Hardin
Ireland's Anna Mieke today released her transcendent sophomore album, Theatre, via Nettwerk. The LP has been earning great press from Uncut, MOJO, The Irish Examiner, Shindig! and more, while its singles - "Seraphim," "Mannequin," "For A Time," "Twin" - have earned additional praise from FLOOD Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, Cool Hunting, Guitar World, and Northern Transmissions, among others . Theatre envelopes listeners in the warmth of Anna Mieke's world, radiating with an intense heat that lies closer to the desert or the jungle than her hometown of Wicklow, IE.
Theatre is the surreal soundtrack of a vast personal plain steeped in nostalgia, family, memory, death and dreaming - where gritty reality and romanticism meet. This duality is the thematic core of the album, but it's ultimately more about sensation than theme. "Perhaps the music enables some form of dreamlike movement towards an imaginary place," Anna Mieke says. "I'm just creating a sound world to escape to, built from moments in time. I hope it reminds someone else of their own experience...memories of youth infused with an intense warmth, like that childhood sensation of summer."
The album's vivid soundscapes mirror Anna Mieke's lush and adventurous upbringing; as a child, she cycled over The Pyrenees to Gibraltar, and lived and went to school in New Zealand (age 5) - "Climbing glaciers and an active volcano, trekking through jungles...I remember that otherworldly feeling, somewhere totally alien to all my senses," she recalls of her time there. Theatre encapsulates this feeling. A captivating artistic statement, it finds Anna Mieke at her most assured and poetic as she contributes a challenging, exciting new voice to alt-folk.
