Anas Mitchell

Description

First Solo Album in Over a Decade!

Tony and Grammy award winning singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell (Hadestown, Bonny Light Horseman, Big Red Machine) releases her first solo studio album in over a decade! The self-titled set was produced by Josh Kaufman and features Michael Lewis, JT Bates, Thomas Bartlett and Aaron Dessner, with string and flute arrangements provided by Nico Muhly. During the first pandemic summer I was staying on the family farm where I grew up, in a little house that belonged to my grandparents when they were alive, Mitchell said about finding inspiration for the LPs lead single Bright Star. I could see the stars for the first time in a long time. I wasnt traveling anywhere, or even doing much of anything, for the first time in a long time. Bright Star is about looking back on years of restless pursuit and making peace with the source of that longing: the Muse, the Great Unknown, the One That Got Away those things that motivate us that we never can touch.
