The title song / single & a b-side from a new EP I'll be releasing via usual streaming & download outlets on Fri April 23rd 2021.

There will be an album - 'Afal' - a little later in the year. It's all finished and off to be pressed at the magic vinyl sonic induction factory.

'Have You Seen Lyra Today?' won't be on the album. It had a late night out and this is its punishment. It laughed when I told it.

All these songs were recorded at home.

My neighbours are saints, and my garden is very very overgrown, but you only live once, right?

Thanks for listening / diolch am wrando.

Live at Hot Numbers 28 Nov 2013

This is the first track released from debut record 48 Hours with David Ford and Annie Dressner.

Recorded live at Echo Zoo Studios, Eastbourne.


Something strange is happening
I’ve never seen this before
My heart beats a little faster
And I think a little harder
‘Cause I don’t want any trouble down the road

I can see the warning sign
But I can’t seem to stop myself now
I’m so far from home
And it all feels so familiar
And I read all the books, but I couldn’t find the answer

If we carry on like this
I don’t know what damage we might do
And if we go and breakdown
I don’t know how I would make it home without you

The same road feels so different somehow
I didn’t notice the change
I’ll get myself together
Take it all a little slower
But everytime I see you
I’m reminded of the danger

If we carry on like this
I don’t know what damage we might do
And if we go and breakdown
I don’t know if I could to make it home without you

I’d turn it off if I could
I’d wish that I had never noticed
But now the sun is coming up
It all feels the same

If we go on like this
I don’t know what damage we might do
And if we go and breakdown
I don’t if I could make it home with you
Would I even want to make it home without you?

Moved from New York City to the UK.

Dressner's poignant songs are delivered with such conversational ease, it often seems as if she is reading from an intimate letter or a book, set to music. Her straightforward lyrical style, sharp ear for wordplay and crisp, lilting vocals offer listeners a front-row seat to her stories, as they take shape above the understated music.

Her quirky debut album, "Strangers Who Knew Each Other's Names" (2011) was featured via iTunes. As seen in the reviews, Dressner is making a strong connection with listeners. The collection of 11 original songs at times evokes Bright Eyes, an up-tempo Mazzy Star ‘Fade Into You,’ or Jenny Lewis.

While in New York, Annie played a variety of clubs and bars since 2009, including Rockwood Music Hall, The Living Room, The Bitter End and Brooklyn's Jalopy. Since arriving in the UK, Annie has played at venues & Festivals throughout England, such as the Cluny2, O2 Academy Islington, Norwich Arts Centre, Night & Day, Secret Garden Party, Deer Shed, Cambridge Folk Festival, and has opened for Juan Zelada, Lucy Wainwright Roche & Fossil Collective.
