Hailing from Rochester, a city on the Southern shore of Lake Ontario in New York state, Anamon are a three-piece led by frontwoman and songwriter Ana Emily Monaco. The band are set to put out their debut album, Stubborn Comfort, in November, and have this week shared the title track from it.
Stubborn Comfort is in some ways a song of two halves, the opening finds Ana alone in an almost folky setting with just a twanging guitar for company, but as the drums roll in and the pulsating bass takes flight you’re taken into a world of lo-fi country-rock. It’s a track that seems to touch on various familiar musical ideas, but fuses them into a sound that is unmistakably Anamon’s own. The story behind their upcoming debut album goes thus: the band went into the studio at 7pm carrying an 8-track recorder and left at 5am with a mix of the album. Keep up this prolificy, and quality, and Anamon are going to win over an awful lot of people in no time at all.
Stubborn Comfort is out November 10th.
