Apollo 11

Chasing Squirrels

"Davies is making music like nobody else at the moment" - NME

Written by Catherine Anne Davies. 
Produced by Paul Draper & Catherine Anne Davies. 
Mixed by Gareth Jones.

Taken from the One For Sorrow EP. Release date: 3rd November 2014.

an·cho·ress [ang-ker-is] noun

A woman who is an anchorite - a person who lives in seclusion, esp. a religious recluse; hermit; one who has retired from the world.

The ‘One For Sorrow’ EP is the second release from The Anchoress - a new project from Welsh multi-instrumentalist Catherine Anne Davies, co-produced with Paul Draper (Mansun). The dark southern gothic of ‘Long Year’ offers fans a first taste of the EP, and is now streaming on NME.com

‘Long Year’ was mixed by Gareth Jones (Merchandise/Depeche Mode/Interpol) and will be released as part of the ‘One For Sorrow’ EP on 3rd November 2014 via Hiraeth/PIAS as a limited edition 12” vinyl and special edition CD with romance novel. The EP follows debut single ‘What Goes Around’ - which riffed on everything from Newtonian law to medieval philosophy, as you might expect from a musician with a PhD - and is the second taste of the forthcoming debut album 'Confessions of a Romance Novelist' (due for release in early 2015).

Paul Draper helped to capture the collection of songs on which Catherine played a variety of instruments, including piano, guitar, flute, omnichord, mellotron, wurlitzer, glockenspiel, and celeste, as well as multi-tracking up to 25 vocal harmonies on some of the songs. Yet, recording was interrupted by a series of events that threatened to derail the project completely, including Catherine injuring her hand so badly during a 48-hour recording session that she was told she might not play again and had to wear a metal cast for 6 months. She says:

“This has been made on a wing and a prayer, lots of favours, one car crash, one death, one broken hand, and a lot of patience on so many parts. Stir in 3 jobs, 4 studios, 1 arrest, 3 pianos, 40 songs and 1 very patient engineer… and you get some way to understanding what a long road it has been….”

PRAISE FOR 'WHAT GOES AROUND':
 
“A great, dark classic pop song” - STEVE LAMACQ, BBC 6MUSIC
 
“Imperious vocals… oddball & accessible.” - 20 tracks you have to hear this week, NME
 
“What happened to Mansun's Paul Draper? Well, he's producing The Anchoress and the results are quite something” - CLASH
 
'What Goes Around' is one hell of an introduction, mixing epic Broadway strings with military drums, a sprinkling of Disney pianos, menacing slithers of riffs, and lyrics that make you fear ever messing with womankind." - DROWNED IN SOUND

“Shimmering pop heart and infectious hooks” - GoldFlake Paint

“A powerful opening gambit from The Anchoress” - Louder Than War

“Bites like Aimee Mann and will leave you chomping for more” - Societe Perrier ‘5 hottest acts’

Lyrics:

A song of summer
Blooms in you
And all that you do;

The granted grace
Of all the wonder, 
Every star
And atom under;

Sings for you
The ache of the earth’s eidolons,
Every lover

Breaks the wave,
Won’t take you under.
The words you spoke
Are tearing you asunder.

I’ll be all I can be, bear the dark that’s in me.
I’ll be all I can be, bear the dark that’s in me.
I’ll be all I can be, bear the dark that’s in me.

The quiet the rush of morning 
And your kiss drove
Arial-set to my heart, for all ever, 

The river wild runs 
For every sorrow,
Every lover

Breaks the wave 
That won’t take you under. 
The love you gave
Gives you asunder.

I’ll be all I can be, bear the dark that’s in me.
I’ll be all I can be, bear the dark that’s in me.
I’ll be all I can be, bear the dark that’s in me.

Song Of Summer

A live improvisation with James Pagliero on lap steel and myself on electric guitar and effects. Both lap steel and electric guitar were going into Guitar Rig 2 for processing and recorded using the built-in tape machine device. No post-processing.
Recorded in honour of Michael Collins, the third astronaut onboard Apollo 11. Unlike his more famous colleagues; Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, Michael didn't get to land on the moon, but had to remain on the command module. The command module orbited the moon as the lunar module landed, leaving Michael alone and out of contact with Earth for 48 minutes at a time each orbit.

Baby I'm waiting for my chance to sing.
Sweats cold, scared to miss the beat.
But you could be the one to shout.
That I could be the one...
