Keren Ann

On her self-titled, fifth album, Keren Ann crafts the spirit-- or spiritlessness-- of drowsy pessimism into a ragged, shadowy baroque, where songs may tumble in over harmonicas or drift off with a choir.

This weeks singer / songwriter is the Israeli Keren Ann with her self-titled and, surprisingly, fifth solo album. Flying under the radar until this release, her previous albums have all been well respected whilst receiving limited releases in both Europe…

Keren Ann is too often in danger of getting lost against the wallpaper.

"They know my voice, they know my name", Keren Ann sings in the opening track of her self-titled album, her fifth, but second on a US label.
