Today's Subjects: ----------------- Best of 2020 & The Anchoress [Leonora Christina Skov Subject: Best of 2020 & The Anchoress I have just discovered Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer Catherine Anne Davies who works under the moniker The Anchoress. More specifically her album Confessions of a Romance Novelist: The Kitchen Sessions (2016). Itbs a stripped-down acoustic version of her 2016-album Confessions of a Romance Novelist. Have any of you listened to her? If not, I imagine youbll love her VERY Ecto-friendly style. I havenbt seen any best of-lists here on Ecto this year (or rather: last year), but here are my 2020 favourites: 1. Polly Scattergood: In This Moment 2. I Break Horses: Warnings 3. Alice Boman: Dream On 4. Phoebe Bridgers: Punisher. 5. A.A. Williams: Forever Blue 6. Julianna Barwick: Healing Is a Miracle 7. Agnes Obel: Myopia 8. Sol Seppy: Ib .b Ab .b Ab .b Yb .b A 9. Perfume Genius: Set My Heart on Fire Immediately 10. Anna Von Hausswolff: All Thoughts Fly 11. Angel Olsen: Whole New Mess 12. Lanterns on the Lake: Spook the Herd Honorable mentions: A Girl Called Eddy: Been Around Taylor Swift: Folklore Ren Harvieu: Revel in the Drama Helena Deland: Someone New Alexandra Savior: The Archer & Paris Jackson: Wilted To my own surprise I actually like that last album quite a bit. I like Manchester Orchestra as well which might explain it. Kind regards from Copenhagen, still under lockdown Leonora ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #2933 ****************************
