Ana Silvera has an uncanny ability to combine discomfort with beauty, strangeness with simplicity. The Fabulist – whose very title casts her as an Angela Carter-like teller of curious stories – is the perfect distillation of these ambiguities. A mesmerising and magical album.
Ana Silvera shares an insight into ‘Halos’, the latest single from her forthcoming album ‘The Fabulist’. “…Frozen furrows of barren fields and the crows pecking and wheeling about the withered crops. The bright skirts of fog encircling black trees.”
Gift is the latest offering from London-born singer songwriter and composer Ana Silvera featuring three songs – all composed or arranged on the harmonium including a beautiful cover of Björk’s Jóga.
In a special guest article, Ana Silvera shares the background to her latest offering ‘Light, Console Me’ – “I hope these songs provide comfort, space to reflect, maybe even take the listener momentarily to another world.”
Circle of Chalk is taken from Ana Silvera’s sophomore album Oracles, a haunting yet life-affirming collection of songs. The lyrics tackle grieving, understanding and acceptance through folk legends, and Ana’s dynamic vocal style mimics this with the delicate yet theatrical prowess of Kate Bush.
