Anni Rossi's debut full-length, Rockwell, is out this March 2009. From Minnesota via Los Angeles and now based in Chicago, 23-year old Anni is a most exciting prospect. Having been classically trained since three years of age, she is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and has been performing as a solo artist for the past few years. She has already extensively toured around Europe and the US (including support slots with The Ting Tings and Electrelane as well as being a member of Carla Bozulich’s band) and has slowly gained herself both a great reputation and dedicated fanbase.
Anni signed to 4AD in mid-2008 and headed straight to Chicago’s Electrical Audio studio to record Rockwell with Steve Albini. The results show it to have been a wise move. Mostly using tracks from her existing set (Machine, Ecology, Wheelpusher), the energy, depth and eccentricities of her live show have all been successfully translated onto record and where traditionally the viola formed the centerpiece to her music (often being the only instrument used), more come to the forefront here. What will surprise listeners most is the unlikely cover version of Ace of Base’s ‘Living Danger’, a cover so sublime you wouldn’t know what it was unless told. The first mp3 off the album is Ecology, a song that perfectly showcases Anni’s unique voice and talent. REMOTE CONTROL RECORDS
