London-based sound artist and singer-songwriter Anne Garner has released a new album called Dear Unknown which is out now via Slowcraft Records. According to the press release, Dear Unknown is three years in the making, a vaporous, bitter-sweet collection that unflinchingly picks a path through the artist’s personal history of moral constriction and religious abuse to arrive at a place of extraordinary lightness and release. Such is the alchemy of Anne’s art; through it pain becomes compassion, suffering relief. In other hands such emotional deep-diving could all too easily yield a dislocated or melancholy record, but time spent in the company of Dear Unknown instead imparts a sense of serenity, uplift and above all hope.
