Slowcraft:

" Anne Garner returns to Slowcraft with a sublime new album.

Dear Unknown is three years in the making, a vaporous, bitter-sweet collection that unflinchingly picks a path through the artist’s personal history of moral constriction and religious abuse to arrive at a place of extraordinary lightness and release. Such is the alchemy of Anne’s art; through it pain becomes compassion, suffering relief. In other hands such emotional deep-diving could all too easily yield a dislocated or melancholy record, but time spent in the company of Dear Unknown instead imparts a sense of serenity, uplift and above all hope.

Impossibly delicate opener Dear Unknown and the sparkling This Is Freedom lead us into Dust Devil, a cathartic tour de force that rekindles the dream-pop sensibilities found on previous work such as Be Life. All Wounds burns with a torch-bearing intensity while the smoky Besides and instrumental Golden Arrow recall the genre-defying fluidity of Lost Play. Surrender sublimates the complexity of Dear Unknown’s message into a single-word mantra, the imperative to lay down arms abstracted into a granular stream of sound by producer and long-time collaborator James Murray. The album’s moving climax Alma celebrates the artist’s late mother, whose passing prompted Anne to begin her songwriting career, urging us all to cherish each and every moment of life’s precious, fleeting gift.
