Anna & the Sea

Anna & the Sea is the solo project of Anna Lindström. Originally from a small town in Sweden, Anna moved to Stockholm, getting involved early in the music scene as a singer and background singer in different bands, as a sound engineer, radio show host, music journalist, and DJ. Secretly, she has been working on her own material for what feels like since high school, but it never felt like the right place or time to put everything together, until now. After playing around in a friend’s studio last year, things started to fall into place. Anna returned to the studio with her songs, written on her tired computer, and recorded them together with a number of musicians, amongst them Peter Morén, drummer Ola Hultgren, Nils Berg on saxophone and flute, Fredrik Hermansson on piano, and Hanna Ekström and Anna Dager on strings. The result is a cinematic and dynamic sound with strong melodies and Anna’s distinct voice that reminds of Kate Bush, Lana Del Rey, and Joni Mitchell with music inspired by artists like Arthur Russell, Talking Heads and Paul Simon's album Graceland.
