The Newsom comparison...Anni Rossi is quite unique. The Newsom comparison comes from her vocal range. Live she is quite astonishing & really owns her instrument. On CD (mostly self-released thus far, with a 7" on Too Pure & an album proper due) she plays with form & genre & sometimes is backed, sometimes is not, by a full or partial troupe of musicians. She doesn't just use Viola either - pump/pipe organ, guitar/piano/+ others are utilised on record. She creates an expansive sound from a minimal undertaking. It's quite panoramic.<BR/><BR/>She met The Ting Tings in Manchester (UK) when she was in residency. As a result they offered her the support slot on this current N. USA + Canada tour.<BR/><BR/>Anni is a friend of our radio show (The Waiting Room, ErrorFM) & we put a gig on for her a few years back in Cardiff, UK that introduced her to the Too Pure record label.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29345538.post-82137236387720096382008-06-17T14:04:00.000-04:002008-06-17T14:04:00.000-04:00Oooh I enjoy amped strings as well - sounds cool. ...Oooh I enjoy amped strings as well - sounds cool.
