#45 | Michaela Anne | Desert Dove
Yep Roc

According to Steven Ovadia: “Anne's voice floats above her songs, in a similar vein as Cowboy Junkies' Margo Timmins. But her band's arrangements are a little more rooted in traditional country and Americana. At the same time, the music is trippy, with tracks a little slow and somehow slightly off-kilter, adding to the airiness of Anne's vocals. Many of the tunes feel like they're rising out of a lovely waking dream….When we think of country music, we tend to think of the earth. While it's a contemporary music form, there's something old-fashioned about it. At its core, it's a sepia-aged photo more than a Moon-filtered Instagram post. Anne has a voice capable of soaring through songs, and while it feels like she's of the clouds, she is, like all of us, on terra firma.”
