Anna Cordell, Album release
Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to be this close to finally releasing my debut record!!
I recorded this in New Zealand two years ago with the incredible producer Ben Edwards (Marlon Williams, Julia Jacklin, Aldous Harding) when I was pregnant with my fifth daughter, Grace.
I spent the following time back in Melbourne working on it from home via correspondence and finally had it all completed at the beginning of this year.
Between caring for my girls and keeping my new little clothing business alive... I have chipped away at this record that I am so, so proud of, and now am VERY excited to have it enter the world!
You can hear my first two singles here:
And see my first Video:
I have another video to share very soon, made by a talented dancer and photographer Nicha Rodboon from Belgium, and will release another single in January before the final album release on the 14th of Feb!
The Launch will be held with my amazing new band at Howler in Brunswick on Sunday the 23rd of February and you can pre- book your tickets as rewards here too.
Being an 100% independent artist, the only way this is all possible is with YOUR HELP!
I am so close, I have it all mixed and mastered, the album artwork is complete, all I need to do now is finish a couple of videos, get a little funding for some publicity, and get these babies packed up and into peoples hands so I can finally share my best work written over the past five years.
You can do something as simple as buying a digital download, your launch ticket or a preorder of the record. Plus I have a collection of other bonus rewards.
Thankyou so much to everyone who has helped and encouraged me with this project so far, and to all of you who support local music - you have no idea what it means to all of us!
