Lotte Kestner is the solo project of Trespassers William’s singer/songwriter Anna-Lynne Williams, recorded over a year in her bedroom, and mixed in a Seattle studio with Trespassers bandmate Matt Brown. While most of the album is made up of layers of Anna-Lynne’s voice and acoustic guitar playing, there are brief appearances from Jeff Martin of Idaho, Ross Simonini of Trespassers William, and Toby Campbell of Anomie Belle, on a number of instruments. As well as harmonica, keys, drums, ukulele, and harp played by Anna-Lynne.
Over the past few years, Anna-Lynne has lent her voice to songs by the Chemical Brothers, Minotaur Shock, Noise Unit, Phononoir, Anomie Belle, Au Revoir Borealis, and AFI.
What has been written about Anna-Lynne:
“In the vein of My Bloody Valentine, Jolie Holland, and perhaps even Codeine, those remarkable shoe-gazers that were part of Sub Pop’s early catalog. Williams’ music is moody, inward, and her lyrics are wonderfully unpredictable.”
- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
“Anna Lynne Williams has one of the most intoxicating voices in modern music.”
- Auralgasms
“Even though it doesn’t matter what she’s singing–the mood translates well through melody and instrumentation–it’s lucky for the listener that the lyrics are included in the CD booklet. The sheer poetry of the songs is remarkable.”
- Seattle Sound
“Anna-Lynne Williams has one of those crystal-clear voices made up of shyness, loneliness and quiet despair.”
- NME
