Break! Into Action

This is a beach inspired album that combines the sounds of the steel drum and ukulele with surf guitar tones. I set out to create something organic, chill, and vintage sounding but the recording process steered me into some unexpected sonic territory. 

In addition to the underlying beach theme, this album was also heavily influenced by instruments and equipment that I was lent and gifted. This music would not be if weren't for these contributions. I'd like to thank and acknowledge: 

- steel drum and ukulele from Alyssa Kearns

- shakers and miscellaneous wooden percussion from my parents

- custom stratocaster and Silvertone amp head from Mr. Bradford

- Miktek and vintage RCA mics, Chandler Little Devil and vintage Universal Audio LA-4 compressors, RTZ and Phoenix mic preamps from Rich Bradford.

I'd also like to acknowledge and thank Kenny and Zack Wiesinger for sending me the concept for the song "Don't You Gimme No". They sent over a voice memo of them singing the hook of that song and I used that as a foundation to build out the instrumentals. Never in a million years would have created this type of song without their creative input.

Annie J’s “Light My Own Fire” is a warm, anthemic pop-soul track that was inspired by the desire to overcome self-doubt. As the third single off of her forthcoming debut solo EP ‘Get Back,’ Annie fans the flame cultivated by years of establishing her rich voice as a leading presence in the Seattle music scene lending her talents to projects that include Seattle Rock Orchestra, 45th St. Brass, and the late blues legend Cedell Davis. Annie’s creative spark and thoughtful lyrics are kindled by collaborating with top-notch Seattle musicians including Andrew Vait (Sisters, Little Wins), Chris Littlefield (Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe), Nick Foster (Nick Foster Band), Scott Paul Johnson (Hot Bodies In Motion), and Stephanie Anne Johnson (the Hidogs). Along the same lineage as Dusty Springfield, Roberta Flack, and Solange, “Light My Own Fire” is a testament that Annie is poised to blaze a path of success as her warm delivery displays both nuanced control and playfulness as she executes rich vocal runs and a stunning range.

Throughout my time consuming and creating music, I've become increasingly aware of the immense power in music and how it can instantly shape our moods and color our experiences. My intention with this album was to channel my affinity for the ocean in a way that was both calming and uplifting.

I love the ocean and the music that can take me there. In 2011 I released a surf rock album called Kitty Hawk Surf, and I've wanted to record another album that channels the coastal flavor ever since. This time around, the album took me in an unexpected direction and explored a more relaxing energy, incorporating notes of hawaiian lap steel and bossa nova.

I created this music because it makes me feel good, and I hope it will do the same for you.
