The record has been widely praised and helped land Anna a coveted support slot on Mallrat’s US tour. In today’s episode, we chat with Anna about recording the album in Nashville, collaborating with producer Constantine to shape a new sonic direction, and how she’s preparing to bring these songs to life on stage.
