Anna B Savage announces new album You & i are Earth
Anna B Savage has announced her forthcoming album, You & i are Earth, will arrive on January 24th, 2025 via City Slang. The record was produced by John ‘Spud’ Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi). Along with the news, the artist has also shared single “Agnes.” It’s inspired by the intersection of fantasy, self-reflection, and the internet, sparking while an interest in folklore impacted Savage’s relationship with social media. “There’s magic here / Top inside out – don’t you fear,” she sings on the chorus, over an instrumental that swirls like a flurry of snowflakes.
The Irish artist, also announces an early 2025 run of UK, IE, and EU dates. Earlier this year, Savage has graced stages supporting The Staves and St Vincent – having previously toured with Father John Misty and Son Lux amongst others.
On the track, Savage shares: “This song is inspired by Irish folklore, therapy practice, and a tweet. In therapy we had been meditating and visualizing, a practice that is in turns frightening and deeply comforting. Concurrently, I was reading about Selkies and Faeries, and it was when I read this tweet that I felt the folklore melding with my own personal therapeutic experiences. That moment of potential relief followed by a deep terror, and the act of turning your clothes inside out to release your entrapment from the ‘stray sod’.
This song – or rather Agnes herself – is an embodiment of the fascination and fear, the joy and the reverence I felt in these lessons. At once benevolent and kind ‘you can come here any time’, and deeply frightening ‘she’s tucking me [under the ground]… leaving me over here’ I felt like I was trying to learn how to be content holding multiplicities all at once and being okay with it. I struggled to think of people who could be Agnes’s voice, and suddenly I realised Anna Mieke was perfect, I adore her music, and her vocals/lyrics are in turns delicate and ethereal, powerful and a little uncanny. I am so grateful to her for taking on this wild song and making Agnes come to life.”
